Professional Development
As a faculty member at TKS, you can expect to be working in an environment where the administration supports lifelong professional growth. It’s something that’s deeply embedded within our school's culture.
We expect all employees to develop their skills as professional educators. Continuing professional growth is one of the school’s four focus areas. All teaching staff are involved in regular, ongoing professional learning throughout the entire year.
We employ a team of IB and Pedagogical Coordinators in each division of the school, who work closely with teachers to develop their professional inquiries, gather feedback and engage in regular coaching conversations. All faculty assess themselves on a set of professional and teaching practices. These elements lead their appraisal with their Principal.
Professional development learning opportunities are vital to the continual growth of our people and funds to support this are available on-site, off-site, in-country, and abroad. Professional development for teachers may include:
We encourage and support attendance at relevant professional conferences. In addition, our Pedagogical Coordinators regularly lead in-school professional learning opportunities. Each year, we bring in leading experts in relevant fields of education to provide development for faculty on our campus.
TKS provides a work-play-live environment. We’re a vibrant, multinational community of learners, teachers, and staff.
School staff lives in the University campus community on the shores of the Red Sea. The campus community is a small-town environment that features safe, attractive neighborhoods with retail, recreation, and entertainment facilities. Many activities center around the school, focusing on community interests, such as musical and theatrical performances, team sports tournaments, academic competitions, and various exhibitions.
Recreation centers include a bowling alley and a golf course, a marina, several beaches, tennis courts, playgrounds, a cinema, indoor racquet sports, and lots of wide-open spaces. There are also children's summer camps available.
