Dear Prospective Teachers
This
guide has been produced in order to help give you information about
ISPS. Selecting a new school and a new country is not an easy task,
yet I hope this guide helps make your decision an easy one. As
you will read, we are a small school, a young school, a dynamic
school, and a school which is improving every year.
Since August 2002, our focus has been
expansion of program offerings, curriculum development and
managing growth. By June 2003, we had K-12 Standards and Benchmarks
adopted and published and have been using the “Understanding by
Design” curriculum process to document our curriculum. The current
short-term plan is to have a completely articulated curriculum, by
June 2006. We have fully developed our High School and Middle School
course offerings so that they reflect a program which is
challenging, broad, balanced and meets the needs of students
enrolled at ISPS, including a Student Support team and a fledgling
ESL program.
The
island nation of
Trinidad and Tobago
is a wonderful place to work and live. Although classified as a
“developing nation”, all 21st century amenities are
readily available. The climate is ideal and the people are
among the warmest and friendliest I have met in 21 years of International education.
Our
vision is to become one of the premiere international schools -
an attainable goal yet not without a lot of hard work and dedication.
I am looking for dedicated professionals who will help us fulfill
this vision.
