Primary School Teachers required for January 2017 and August 2017 starts with possibility of curriculum leadership roles.
The International Academy Amman (IAA) opened its doors as a nonprofit private institution in 2004, with its main goal to educate the youth of Jordan. IAA has accomplished much in its 13 years and is recognised for being one of the best schools in Jordan, as well as internationally. In December 2012, IAA earned joint accreditation from the Council of International Schools (CIS) and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC).
IAA currently enrolls 1100 students ranging from Pre-K1, at age 3, all the way to the International Baccalaureate Diploma at age 18. The school celebrated its first graduating cohorts in 2011 and since then university acceptance letters have poured in from some of the most prestigious universities in the world. This impressive acceptance list includes the likes of Harvard, Columbia, Stanford, Cornell, and University of Pennsylvania; as well as esteemed universities like: McGill, Imperial College, and University College-London.
IAA, an independent co-educational day school, offers an international education within a Jordanian setting that fosters an atmosphere of pride, identity, faith and inter- cultural empathy. IAA promotes academic excellence, ethical development and responsible world citizenship, based on principles of mutual respect and a love of learning. This extends beyond the barriers of the school to the wider community of Jordan through the sharing of knowledge, skills and expertise with other individuals and institutions.
The Primary section is divided into three sections for teaching and learning.
These sections are as follow:
- Early Years, consisting of Pre-K, KG1 and KG2
- Junior Primary consisting of Grade 1 and Grade 2
- Senior Primary consisting of Grades 3, 4 and 5.
The Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum is followed in the Early Years Section of the school.
The remainder of the primary school use the following curricula:
- The Australian National Curriculum for Mathematics
- The English and Welsh National Curriculum for Literacy
- The International Primary School Curriculum (IPC) for integrated studies
- The Jordanian National Curriculum for Arabic, Social Studies in Arabic, and Religion.
The aim of the primary school is to provide a broad and relevant curriculum combining the best of local and international content and ideas. Students will be well prepared for the next step in their educational journey, with the tools necessary to succeed in the middle and secondary schools. This means they have the literacy, numeracy, language, information, leadership, and thinking skills necessary to cope with the senior curriculum. In addition, the primary school strives to instill a love of learning. We want students to engage whole-heartedly with the school; develop their intellectual curiosity and enjoy the challenge of expanding their own educational comfort zone. Learning in the primary school is designed to engage all the senses. We aspire to produce students with the intellectual toolkit to succeed and the enthusiasm and drive to do so.
Jordan is a safe and rewarding place to live. Amman is a fascinating city of contrasts; a unique blend of old and new, ideally located on a hilly area between the desert and the fertile Jordan Valley. Jordanians are friendly and largely well-disposed to expats. English is spoken widely and there are few problems communicating even in the rural areas. The tourist centres of the Dead Sea and Aqaba are attractive and relatively cheap weekend or short-break destinations for staff. Add to that the famous historical sites at Petra, Mount Nebo, Jerash and Um Qais, the unique desert landscape of Wadi Rum and spectacular opportunities of wadi-walking in Mujib and other valleys, and you will appreciate that Jordan has much to offer as a place to live.

A bid to raise £2 million to restore JMW Turner's neglected Grade II country home has been boosted by £135,000 of lottery money.
Built in 1813, Sandycombe Lodge in Twickenham is listed as one of English Heritage's buildings at risk due to large amounts of damp and a collapsed basement ceiling.
Plans are underway to restore the holiday home to how it looked when Turner lived there.
The £135,000 grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund will enable detailed excavation work on the house, such as taking paint scrapes from the walls to match the paint colours chosen by Turner.
The Andrew Lloyd Webber Challenge Fund for Historic Buildings at Risk has also donated £140,000.
The Turner House Trust hopes to raise £2 million in total to fund the project.
Catherine Parry-Wingfield, chairman of Turner's House Trust, said: "With this generous support we shall now be in a position to seek the expertise of specialist conservationists to assess the extent and methodology of the restoration work required, and in particular, to learn more about the original appearance of the interior of Sandycombe Lodge."
Sandycombe Lodge, which was designed by Turner, was used by the painter as a retreat away from his Harley Street studio. His retired barber and wigmaker father William resided there permanently.
As part of the restoration, which is due to finish in 2017, the interiors will be designed to match Turner's own as closely as possible. A collection of his original prints will also be on show.
Turner owned the house for 13 years from 1813 to 1826. It is unknown whether he used Sandycombe Lodge as a studio, but it is thought he did watercolour work while there.
The painter, who is well-known for his marine landscapes, would have been able to see the Thames from the windows of the top bedroom. He also kept model ships at the house which he is thought to have made preparatory sketches from.
His preliminary sketches for the design of the house can be seen at Tate Britain.Reuse content

The Takamagahara Wadatsumi Laboratory, commonly known as the Wadatsumi Laboratory, is a laboratory that formerly existed within New Yokozaki City, and was owned by Takamagahara. Officially, the laboratory was made to discover new energy sources, and develop a next generation energy, lending a plethora of local support for it's development. However, the true reason for it being built was so the T-system, and the Embryo to power it, could be developed. Ryōko Kagari was the head of the facility.
After the Wadatsumi Mass Vanish Incident, the lab and the surrounding area, later known as the Restricted Ward, would be sealed off. Currently, the Mitsurugi Agency is in charge of the area, guarding it's toxic area from any public members, as well as preserving the area for unknown reasons. At the very bottom of the facility, lies a gate to the Boundary, providing an unlimited energy source for the laboratory. The aftermath of the incident meant that all animals and humans who entered the area would become sick, while plants simply could not grow within the surrounding area.
Sōichirō Unomaru used the area as his base of operations in XBlaze – Code: Embryo. Inside, he harvested the Crystals of Union's who he had 'rescued'.

More than 1,000 graduates have applied to become "elite" social workers in the space of just one week at a time when the profession is once again under scrutiny over the deaths of vulnerable children, it emerged last night. Applications for Frontline, a two-year intensive training course to improve the status of the much-derided profession, have flooded in since the programme opened last Monday.
The news came as a rare boost to a profession again under siege for its failures to protect the lives of two-year-old Keanu Williams and Hamzah Khan, four. Investigations into the death of Williams, murdered by his mother at their home in Birmingham, and Khan, said in court to have been starved to death by his mother after his mummified body was found in his bedroom in Bradford, West Yorkshire, were highly critical of the authorities' failure to prevent their deaths.
The best 100 Frontline applicants, following a rigorous assessment process, including psychological tests based on selection for MI5 and MI6, will be selected to start the course next summer.
Frontline, which is modelled on Teach First, the fast-track programme for graduates aimed at improving standards in teaching, was given the go-ahead last year by Education Secretary Michael Gove. Its efforts were recognised in the Prime Minister's conference speech on Wednesday, when he said: "Social work is a noble and vital calling. This government has helped get some of the brightest graduates into teaching and we have pledged to do the same for social work." Labour leader Ed Miliband also backed its work, saying last week: "Social work is one of Britain's most important jobs. We need more life-changing social workers. That's why I'm delighted to support the work of Frontline."
In truth, its efforts cannot come soon enough. Councils across England are failing to fill vacancies in their social-services teams due to budgetary pressure and a lack of newly qualified social workers with "real-life" experience. A report published earlier this year warned that without reform to social workers' training, councils could be in danger of missing even more serious incidents of abuse and neglect. This is likely to be exacerbated by low numbers of social workers with specific training and experience in handling cases involving children. It predicted the supply of social workers will not equal demand until 2022.
Last year, Birmingham Social Care, which was involved in the Williams case, was criticised by Ofsted for continuing "inadequate" protection of children, despite improvements made following the death of Khyra Ishaq in the city in 2008. In 2011 there were 1,350 vacancies for social workers, while just 5 per cent of people who started training in this field last year had been to a "good" Russell Group university.
On top of recruitment problems, there is the difficulty of retaining trained, experienced staff. Older workers are leaving in alarming numbers and a recent survey of those remaining revealed that seven out of 10 said their caseloads were "unmanageable". Other frustrations cited by existing social workers included the amount of time they had to spend filling in paperwork and a lack of time to deal with individual cases. One study estimated that only 15 per cent of social workers' time is actually spent in the field.
Josh MacAlister, Frontline's chief executive, stresses that it cannot be a "silver bullet" to solve the problems in social work and troubled families. "But we can be part of a wider regime... to make [the profession] better at protecting vulnerable children.... What is needed is social-work professionals to set out a vision for the family, conceive a number of different options to deal with problems and to deal with that in really hard, emotional settings. To be a Frontline social worker is a leadership profession."
He told The Independent on Sunday: "What we are looking for is something special, an ability to stand up in court and be cross-examined for three hours by a barrister, build a relationship with a family in quite difficult circumstances. Simply by going to Oxford or Cambridge doesn't make you cut out to be a great social worker."
Applicants to Frontline must complete a self-selection questionnaire, which asks them to give their emotional response to being in court, say, when a mother they have worked with breaks down in tears and accuses them of lying. Candidates must have a 2:1 or first-class degree, as well as 300 Ucas points and English and Maths GCSE grade C or higher.
Of the initial 1,000, 300 or 400 are chosen for the second stage, which involves interviews, role play and verbal-reasoning tests. They will be judged on how they interact and initiate conversations with children.
Finally, the best 100 will be selected. Following a five-week theory course, they will work for a local authority, under supervision. In year two they will continue to do caseloads for a local authority and undergo a leadership development programme.
