Do you bring the world to life in the classroom? Do you take our pupils from volcanoes to global cities and teach them to truly think critically about how the world works? Do you take the pupils with us on all sorts of excursions to discover the Netherlands? Are you someone with a positive attitude and creative ideas?

At Werenfridus, starting next academic year, we are looking for a Geography teacher (qualified to teach at secondary level) with an affinity for the English language, to primarily teach lessons within the bilingual education programme. 

What will you do?
At the Werenfridus, you'll be given the space to truly make a difference for pupils just starting out at secondary school.
  • You will teach approximately 15-18 lessons per week to our havo and vwo students.
  • You are a ‘host’ in the classroom: you create a safe foundation within which pupils take ownership of their own learning process (formative working).
Why Werenfridus?
Working with us means working at a school rich in tradition yet ambitious. Our modern building is divided into 'learning houses' and 'learning squares', creating a personal and cosy atmosphere. You will join a team of loyal colleagues where doors are literally and figuratively open.

“We believe in the balance between relationship and result: we offer the structure you need and the freedom you can handle.”

Team
At Werenfridus, in addition to being part of a subject department, you are also part of a team. Together with the team leader, the team is responsible for the educational outcomes and the pedagogical and didactic approach within the department. We work with five teams, namely: the foundation year, the lower secondary HAVO and VWO streams, and the upper secondary HAVO and VWO streams. Based on your affinity with the target group and the organisation's needs, you will be assigned a place in one of the teams in consultation.

School plan
This school year, we launched the new school plan (see video below). The basis of this school plan is to support pupils to become engaged, independent and motivated world citizens. We want to do this by providing meaningful education with an emphatic place for formative action and the basic skills of language and maths, digital literacy, citizenship. 

Bilingual education
Pupils are given the opportunity to follow bilingual education (TTO). This means that approximately 50 percent of the regular lessons are taught in English, for both havo and vwo. In addition to TTO, we also have a gymnasium department, and pupils can take exams in Sports and Movement (BSM) and art subjects. The school is widely known in the local area for the tailored opportunities we offer children with talents in various fields or for pupils who want or can handle more academically.

What do we expect from you?
  • You (almost) hold a second-grade teaching qualification..
  • You are an educator at heart. You see the students and the students see you. Through your relationships, you are able to play a decisive role in the classroom dynamic.
  • You have an affinity with the HAVO/VWO target audience 
  • You have a Good command of the English language and you can provide geography lessons in English within our bilingual education. Native speakers are welcome to apply.

About Tabor College Werenfridus

Werenfridus is a school for the socially engaged, independent and motivated pupil. We are a school for havo, atheneum and gymnasium full of challenges: Dutch-speaking and bilingual. Our passionate teachers and our special building encourage pupils to receive an education in a safe environment. At our school, it is not about being the very best, but pupils can become the best version of themselves here.

Werenfridus is a safe village that lets the world in in innovative ways. Not only the building exudes this, but also the organisation, the staff and the pupils. A wonderful opportunity to offer our education at a high level and to be distinctive.

These times emphasise even more than usual that students need customisation. What works fine for one person may not be at all convenient for another. Good teaching has three key elements. Competence, where we observe development for each pupil and use differentiation for optimal results. Autonomy, the flexibility and space there should be to learn in your own way. And finally relationship, because we see pupils at school and like to meet them in person.

Especially if students want to know more about the world around them, they are right at home here. World affairs such as culture, (world) citizenship, business opportunities, travel and the international programme make our school unique. We bring the world into the school and our students into the world. Here, students become socially engaged, curious and independent: the basis for a successful future.
