Social Studies Learning Facilitator

Learning Facilitator - Social Studies- Sparkling Mindz Global School

Who We Are

We live in a world that is changing quickly. Schools need to prepare children not just for exams but for life. At Sparkling Mindz, we create learning experiences that inspire curiosity, build thinking skills and nurture responsible, creative young people.

We are a Reggio-Emilia inspired, game-based, purpose-driven school founded by alumni from Harvard, IIM and ISB. Our work focuses on helping children grow as thinkers, explorers and contributors to the world around them.

We believe that learning transforms when adults grow alongside children, and when every classroom becomes a place where questions, perspectives and possibilities are welcomed.

The Role: Learning Facilitator – Social Studies

Grades: Primary - High School

Location: Kannuru, Hennur Bagalur Road, North Bangalore

Type: Full-time

Timings: Monday to Friday 7:45 AM to 5:30 PM and alternate Saturdays

Our Philosophy

Keeping the child in the center is our north star. It shapes how we design, teach and reflect. Most of us grew up in environments where adults defined the learning journey. At Sparkling Mindz, we shift this by seeing children as capable individuals with questions, ideas and ways of understanding the world that deserve attention and respect.

This shift takes intention and practice. You will be a good fit if you are ready to grow in the following ways:

Seeing children as capable humans

You trust that children can think, question and take responsibility when given space, voice and support.

Designing from the child's experience

You observe how children think and learn, and use these insights to shape your lessons, activities and materials.

Creating space for children's voices

You encourage conversations, reflections and multiple perspectives. You invite children to participate in shaping their learning.

Responding with empathy and patience

You work with children through uncertainty and mistakes. You stay focused on long-term growth rather than quick outcomes.

Staying curious about learning

You refine your designs and facilitation based on what you notice. Your plans grow with the children, not the other way around.

Doing the inner work

You reflect on your beliefs, reactions and patterns so you can respond with clarity, care and a learning mindset.

This is the foundation of our approach and shapes the day-to-day experience of the role.
