The Role
We are seeking teachers that are willing to share their interests, passions and story with the students. Suitable applicants will be those who are enthused and excited by finding out what their students are interested in and developing learning plans with each one, backward mapping the curriculum and documenting each student’s work and learning. Suitable applicants will ideally be able to help each student believe that they matter, see and value their culture, talents, and interests and help them fit in by changing the school and the classroom to suit individual needs. That is, someone who never gives up on any student.
The Advisory is a small community within the school. Suitable applicants will work with these students each day as their Advisory teacher. Students are expected to become respectful, caring and productive members of the Advisory group. The Advisory teacher’s role is to teach, inspire, bond, organize and manage learning. You will negotiate student learning plans, convene meetings with students, parents and mentors, help students develop extended projects and prepare for exhibitions. Advisory teachers take responsibility for student learning across the curriculum including literacy and numeracy in addition to some teaching in your specialist subject area. You will discover how a philosophy of combining personalised learning and working together - one student at a time in a community of learners - is the key to creating schools where students are engaged in meaningful learning, and where academic progress is measured against.
