TGT Social Science Teacher Job in Surat, Gujarat | School Recruitment
Job Overview
Gd Goenka International School in Surat commits to ensuring every learner, regardless of background or ability, finds a place in the classroom where curiosity is nurtured and understanding grows. The TGT Social Science Teacher will guide students through history, geography, civics, and economics, making these subjects relevant to their lives in Surat and beyond. The role demands patience, creativity, and a readiness to adapt lessons for diverse learners in a multicultural city.
Classroom Profile
The Social Science classroom at Gd Goenka International School in Surat hosts students from varied learning levels, reflecting the city’s diversity. Some students grasp concepts quickly, while others need additional support to connect past events with present realities. An inclusive classroom here means using local examples—like Surat’s textile trade or Diamond City’s economy—to explain economic theories or historical movements. The teacher must balance academic rigor with empathy, ensuring no learner feels left out during discussions on democracy or globalisation.
Key Responsibilities
Prepare and deliver differentiated lesson plans for TGT Social Science, ensuring alignment with the school’s curriculum and the Gujarat state framework.
Use inquiry-based methods—debates, projects, and field trips within Surat—to make history, geography, and civics engaging for all learners.
Assess students formatively and summatively, providing timely feedback while maintaining records of progress for each child.
Collaborate with special educators to adapt materials for students with learning differences, ensuring accessibility in every lesson.
Organise co-curricular activities like quiz competitions or model UN sessions to reinforce Social Science concepts beyond textbooks.
Communicate regularly with parents in Gujarati, Hindi, or English to share updates on their child’s learning journey.
Participate in school-wide initiatives, including cultural fairs or heritage walks in Surat, to integrate Social Science with real-world experiences.
Attend staff meetings, training sessions, and parent-teacher conferences to uphold the school’s inclusive ethos.
Required Qualifications
Postgraduate degree in Social Science (History, Geography, Political Science, Economics, or Sociology) from a recognised university.
Bachelor of Education (B.Ed) or Diploma in Elementary Education (D.El.Ed) with a Social Science specialisation.
Minimum 4 years of full-time teaching experience in a school setting, preferably with TGT-level students.
Familiarity with CBSE/ICSE or state board curriculum frameworks for Social Science.
Proficiency in English and Gujarati; Hindi is an added advantage for parent interactions.
Preferred Skills
Experience with inclusive pedagogy, such as multisensory teaching or peer-assisted learning, to support diverse learners in Surat’s classrooms.
Strong interpersonal skills to build rapport with students, parents, and colleagues in a collaborative environment.
Patience and adaptability to adjust teaching strategies based on student needs, especially in mixed-ability groups.
Commitment to continuous professional development through workshops or self-study in Social Science education.
What You Get
Rs.25,000 - Rs.35,000 per month, based on qualifications and experience.
Access to school resources, including digital tools and library materials, to enhance teaching.
Opportunities to contribute to school events and initiatives that enrich the Social Science curriculum.
