We are an unconventional non-profit school located on the Thonburi campus of a state-run university, King Mongkut's
University of Technology (KMUTT). Darunsikkhalai School for Innovative Learning is a
constructionist and project-based learning school in southwestern Bangkok, Thailand.
Constructionism is a learning philosophy developed by the late renowned MIT professor Seymour Papert
that focuses on students developing their own ideas and understanding of concepts through
hands-on learning. A collaboration with Stanford University has provided DSIL students with
the first fabrication lab in southeast Asia which allows students to have access to digital
fabrication technology including laser cutting and 3D printing. DSIL provides bilingual (Thai -
English) elementary and high school education with an emphasis on personal development,
sustainability, and mindfulness.
Our job as a learning advisor is to facilitate core subject learning three days a week and to
support students’ individual project-based learning on Thursdays and Fridays. Projects range
from art, design, and media to environmental science, engineering, and innovation. The
academic year is split into trimesters allowing each student to complete three projects a year and
focus on a variety of subjects. At the end of each trimester, students share the skills and
knowledge they gained in an exhibition. Each project has both Thai and English-speaking
teachers.
The role of a learning advisor can change very much from day-to-day depending on the needs of
the students. The job requires flexibility, patience, and a passion for mentoring and developing
young minds. Teachers may be asked to work with any age group, from 6 to 18 years old, and
may also be asked to work outside their area of expertise. Because of this, teachers have four
weeks between each term to plan and prepare for their next project.
We are looking for native English-speaking teachers who are interested in working in an environment
where the primary goal is to motivate students to pursue their own learning goals. Previous
experience in education is helpful but not required, although experience with alternative or
progressive education will be a major benefit. More important than teaching experience is
expertise or interest in one or more subject areas. English-Speaking Teachers may be asked to
teach 2-3 English classes and one project class, providing a total of 18-22 contact hours per
week.
If you are interested, please email your resume and transcripts (unofficial ones are okay for now) to santi.tis@kmutt.ac.th .
All applicants must have a bachelor's degree or higher . We will get back only for the shortlisted candidates.
