LCS is seeking teachers who are passionate about education—their own as well as their students’; who love and respect children; who are committed to helping all students understand what they are learning; who thrive in a collaborative, collegial environment as part of a team of professionals; and who inspire their students to be curious, critical learners.
Specific skills and experience we are looking for in teachers are spelled out in our recruitment profiles, which can be found on the Vacancies page. Below are some additional links to tools and documents that further clarify what LCS is looking for in its teachers.
The Mission is the starting point for everything at LCS, so if you haven’t read that yet, then please do.
Our Standards for Effective Teachers are used by teachers for annual self-evaluation, by principals to provide feedback to teachers at the end of each school year, and by teachers to set annual goals in their on-going professional growth plans. There are five standards:
- Effective planning and preparation
- Engaging and purposeful classroom environment
- Appropriately differentiated instruction
- Accountability for student learning
- Commitment to professional responsibilities

Another key document in defining expectations for LCS teachers is our Code of Professional Conduct.
Finally, one document that defines what we are each striving to be, as learners, is the IB Learner Profile.
