The Role
We are actively seeking primary teachers with exceptional interpersonal skills, demonstrating a natural ability to communicate effectively and foster genuine relationships with parents, students, and colleagues.
At Rivergums PS, we believe in the mantra ‘Every Student, Every Classroom, Every Day.’
The Rivergums PS Instructional Model is underpinned by Explicit Direct Instruction (EDI). This explicit teaching approach clearly shows students what to do and how to do it, rather than asking students to discover or construct information for themselves.
Explicit instruction is an approach to teaching where the teacher;
- Decides on the learning intentions and success criteria;
- Demonstrates them by modelling;
- Checks for understanding, during and at the end of each lesson; and
- Revisits what was covered and ties it all together. (Hattie, J. 2009)
It is characterised by carefully planned and sequenced lessons; frequent and systematic monitoring of student progress; and frequent feedback to students.
