• Identify and take advantage of opportunities to use resources offered within and beyond Singapore to take learning outside the classroom
• Adopt strategies and monitor teaching and learning activities to support individuals with SEN in line with school and faculty policy
• Ensure compliance with all rules regarding health and safety in the classroom
• Set and mark homework regularly in line with school and faculty policy
• Identify and teach study skills/strategies that will develop students' ability to work independently
• Take part in the process and marking of the Extended Essay component of the IB Diploma where needed

Recording and assessment

• Set clear targets for raising achievement
• Collect and record assessment data
• Comply with established systems for identifying, assessing and reviewing student progress
