Associate Teacher (RGSynapse)

About the role

Raffles Girls' School is looking for an Associate Teacher for its RGSynapse programme, a computational literacy and design innovation curriculum for Year 1 to Year 3 students covering making, design thinking, coding and responsible AI-assisted development. The teacher delivers and designs hands-on learning experiences, guiding students from exploratory making in Year 1 to more advanced, differentiated projects.

Key responsibilities

• Deliver the RGSynapse Year 1 to Year 3 programme, integrating computational thinking, coding, responsible AI-assisted development, digital prototyping, physical making and design thinking.
• Mentor students to think critically about technology, including inspecting, debugging, reviewing and owning their solutions rather than accepting outputs at face value.
• Facilitate hands-on, student-centred learning including physical making and fabrication so ideas become real, functional and impactful.
• Contribute fresh ideas to the ongoing development of the RGSynapse curriculum.

Required profile

• Degree in Computer Science, Computing, Engineering, Design, Product Design, Information Systems or a related field.
• Prior teaching experience is appreciated but not required; experience with students aged 13 to 16 is viewed favourably.
• Fresh graduates or mid-career professionals with strong domain knowledge are welcome.
• Excellent understanding of Design and Computational Thinking with real-life applications.
• Coachable, collaborative and ready to grow in a school with a strong culture of learning.

Required skills

• Proficiency in at least one programming language or environment, physical computing platforms and generative AI tools.
• Hands-on experience in AI, AI-assisted development, makerspace or digital fabrication is advantageous.

The school offers a competitive and attractive salary package and benefits commensurate with experience. Applications are made by sending a detailed resume to the Human Resource Department; only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
