The Role
Our school is seeking to recruit a Specialist Teacher in Languages – Japanese. Specialist teachers in our school work as a collaborative team, providing rich opportunities to transfer cross curricula skills, as well as ignite a love for learning in a range of curriculum areas. Our specialist teachers are experts in classroom management, intentionally creating structures required for effective instructional routines within their specific learning context. Our Japanese program is located in a classroom within our specialist block, with a sanctioned learning space where the cultural aspects of the program can be embraced. With ample access to kitchen facilities and an outdoor learning space, rich cultural experiences can be achieved.
Our specialist programs provide an opportunity for our school through connecting our community. The languages program naturally lends itself to connecting our school with not only our school community through engagement events, but also a broader international community. The successful applicant will explore and embrace these opportunities.
Across our school, we provide teachers with clarity of expectations, through an annual Playbook. This Playbook outlines our whole school approaches, including:
- PR1ME Mathematics
- Literacy Blocks (including Promoting Literacy Development; Heggerty PA; Fluency Pairs and Daily Reviews)
- Positive Learning Environments (including Berry Street Education Model; the Adam Road Code; RYPPLE Effective Teaching and Learning Practices)
- Social Emotional Learning – You Can Do It.
Specialist teachers are expected to reflect and understand how these approaches and strategies can be translated into their context..
