# Social Studies Teacher (Middle School) – GEMS Education

This Middle School Social Studies Teacher role is with GEMS New Millennium School, Al Khail, part of the GEMS Education network — one of the largest private education groups in the UAE, operating dozens of schools across the country. The position sits within the middle school phase, teaching Social Studies to students at an age where subject engagement and classroom management both matter enormously, since this is typically when students start forming real opinions about whether a subject is ‘for them.’

Day to day, the role involves planning and delivering lessons aligned to the school’s curriculum framework, assessing student work and tracking progress against learning objectives, differentiating instruction for a mixed-ability classroom, and contributing to the broader pastoral and extracurricular life of the school — GEMS schools typically expect teachers to support activities, parent communication, and student wellbeing beyond just classroom delivery. Social Studies at middle school level also means building genuine critical thinking skills, not just content recall, as students start engaging with more complex historical, geographic, and civic concepts.

This suits a qualified teacher who genuinely enjoys the middle school age group — old enough for real discussion and debate, young enough to still need clear structure and encouragement. Strong classroom management skills and the ability to make historical or civic content feel relevant to students’ lives matter as much as subject knowledge itself.

GEMS Education’s scale in the UAE means teachers here are part of a large, established professional community, with the kind of curriculum resources, training, and peer support that smaller independent schools often can’t match.

## Requirements

- Recognized teaching qualification (e.g. PGCE, B.Ed, or equivalent) with a specialization or strong background in Social Studies / Humanities

- Prior classroom experience teaching middle school-aged students

- Strong lesson planning and differentiation skills for mixed-ability classrooms

- Experience with student assessment and tracking progress against learning objectives

- Classroom management skills suited to early adolescent learners

- Willingness to contribute to extracurricular activities and the wider school community

- Valid teaching license or eligibility for licensing/attestation in the UAE is generally required
