BASIS International Elementary Teachers are able to focus their teaching on teaching phonics, math, science, reading, and humanities. They work collaboratively with Learning Expert Teachers (LETs) to cultivate a joyful learning culture where hard work is celebrated and where intellectual pursuits result in extraordinary student outcomes. At the elementary level, letās help you focus on instruction while they ensure individual student understanding according to student needs. As an Elementary Teacher, it is primarily your responsibility to develop engaging, content-rich subject-specific lesson plans and to teach creative thinking and problem-solving.
Elementary teachers establish a solid foundation of language and social science skills and knowledge. Language Arts topics covered include the beginnings of reading and writing, reading comprehension, the writing process, and much more. Some humanities topics covered include world history, American history, and the beginnings of geographic awareness.
