Social Science (PRT) Vacancy in New Delhi, Delhi

Convent of Jesus & Mary in New Delhi is looking for an experienced Primary Teacher (PRT) to deliver engaging Social Science lessons to students in Grades 6 to 8. The role focuses on fostering critical thinking and ethical awareness through structured, interactive teaching while aligning lessons with the school’s academic standards.

The PRT will be responsible for designing lesson plans that make complex Social Science concepts accessible and meaningful for young learners. Emphasis will be placed on creating a balanced curriculum that blends history, geography, civics, and economics in a way that encourages curiosity and reflection.

Curriculum alignment is key to this position. The teacher will ensure that each unit of study connects with broader learning objectives, reinforcing connections between past and present events, cultural diversity, and civic responsibility. This requires careful planning to avoid fragmentation while maintaining student engagement.

Assessment design will play a significant role in evaluating student understanding. The ideal candidate will develop varied assessment tools—including projects, discussions, and written exercises—to gauge comprehension beyond rote memorisation. These assessments will help identify areas where students need additional support or enrichment.

Tracking student progress will be an ongoing responsibility. The teacher will maintain detailed records of individual and class performance, using this data to adjust teaching methods and ensure continuous improvement. Regular feedback sessions with students will help reinforce learning and address any gaps.

Collaboration with other teachers is essential. The PRT will participate in departmental meetings to share insights on effective teaching strategies and align Social Science instruction with the broader academic goals of the school. This ensures a cohesive learning experience across subjects.

The role also involves fostering a classroom environment that encourages respect, inclusivity, and active participation. The teacher will adapt lessons to accommodate different learning styles while maintaining high academic standards.

Experience in teaching Social Science at the secondary level is preferred, along with a strong foundation in educational psychology. Familiarity with assessment techniques and a commitment to professional development will be beneficial.

The Convent of Jesus & Mary values educators who can inspire students to think critically about society, culture, and governance. The successful candidate will bring enthusiasm for Social Science, a passion for student-centred learning, and the ability to make abstract ideas tangible for young minds.
