Project Based Learning Teacher

Seeking Experienced or Enthusiastic PBL Teacher

Are you passionate about Project-Based Learning (PBL) and eager to guide learners beyond traditional classrooms? We are seeking an AME Learning Facilitator (LF)—not a conventional teacher, but a guide, co-learner, and space-holder who cultivates meaningful, curiosity-driven learning.

At Always Meaningful Education (AME), PBL is at the heart of our approach. Through the AME model—Curiosity → Creation → Contribution—students co-design their learning journeys, connect knowledge across disciplines, and transform ideas into purposeful contributions.

Essential Requirements

• Professional degree in Education (or related fields with proven teaching experience).
• Proficiency in English (mandatory).
• Experience in education, psychology, or related fields.
• Comfort working in innovative or nontraditional learning environments.
• Commitment to whole-child, curiosity-driven learning.
• Legal status or visa that allows residence in both Madrid and Medellín (with occasional travel).
• Willingness to live between both locations.

2. Curiosity & Input Phase
