We Are Hiring a Learning Architect- Pooja Chauhan

This session shifted my thinking from “Who is qualified?” to “Who is truly teachable and child-ready?” I realised that while degrees open the door, dispositions sustain the classroom. When a school hires a teacher, it is actually hiring the emotional climate of future classrooms. Therefore, along with content knowledge, we must look for curiosity in the teacher’s eyes, warmth in their language, and flexibility in their approach. 

I believe a strong hiring process should intentionally create moments where the candidate has to think aloud, respond to an unexpected classroom situation, and demonstrate how they would include a hesitant learner. 

The real question is not, Can this person teach the lesson? But can this person notice the child who is not learning? Going forward, I will sharpen my own reflective practice and advocate for interview processes that reveal mindset, not just merit. This learning has made me more conscious that every teacher we select silently shapes hundreds of learning journeys.

Delightfully Different Teacher Wanted - Minakshi Prasad

WE ARE HIRING:

Do you walk with a spring in your step and speak with a lilt in your voice?

Can you turn a classroom into a world of wonder — yet hold it steady with quiet strength and care?

We are looking for a delightfully different teacher.

• Someone who believes learning is not just delivered — it is experienced.

• Someone whose laughter is contagious, but whose presence commands respect.

• Someone who sees the shy child in the corner and the restless dreamer at the back.

• Someone who can hold thirty young minds together — not with fear, but with warmth, structure, and attention.

You might be unconventional —

 You might teach fractions through stories.

 Grammar through theatre.

 Science is through questions that have no easy answers.

You may hum while you write on the board.

You may believe curiosity is more powerful than control. But make no mistake —

You can hold a class together.

You can anchor chaos into curiosity.

You notice when a child’s silence means something.

You care deeply, deliberately, consistently.

We value:

• Emotional intelligence is as important as academic excellence.

• Creativity alongside curriculum.

• Firmness wrapped in kindness.

• Attention to each student’s growth — mind and heart.

If you believe classrooms should have energy, empathy, and excellence in equal measure,

If you are ready to nurture not just toppers, but thinkers, feelers, and future leaders,

We would love to meet you.
