Dear colleagues
The International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) is currently seeking
an experienced individual to take on the role of examiner responsible
for their German A1 literature course.
The International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) is a recognized
leader in the field of international education, encouraging students to
be active learners, well-rounded individuals and engaged world
citizens. Founded in 1968, we currently work with over 1,900 schools in
124 countries to develop and offer three challenging programmes to more
than 488,000 students aged 3 to 19. You may wish to visit our website
at www.ibo.org for some more information about our organization and
programmes.
One of the characteristics of the IBO's programme for 16-18 year olds
is that students are required to study a literature (A1) course, as one
of six subjects that constitute the diploma. The A1 course is studied
in the first language ('mother tongue') of the student and involves the
study of both the literature of the student's native language, and
works of world literature studied in translation.
The duties of the post of examiner responsible include the setting and
marking of examinations and may involve occasional (paid) travel to the
IB curriculum and assessment centre in Cardiff. Please note that this
post does not involve relocation to an IB office; the duties of this
post are normally carried out alongside other professional and academic
commitments.
Professionals of the following background are invited to apply:
* Native speakers of German
* Degree in German literature
* Teaching experience
* Examining experience (desirable but not essential).
We would be very keen to hear from all individuals with the above
experience. The post of examiner responsible for German A1 is
remunerated at the rate of US$ 475 per year, plus marking and paper
setting fees. In addition to this, the IBO covers all reasonable
expenses and administration costs. Working for the IBO is a commitment
to a mission led organization that has high status precisely for that
reason.
If you think you would be interested in the taking on this position,
please contact me by e-mail ([log in to unmask]) so that more detailed
information, plus an application form, can be sent to you. Please also
feel free to pass this message on to anyone else who may be interested.
Thank you very much for reading this message and giving consideration
to it.
