Are you an inspirational and dedicated teacher seeking a unique opportunity to join a collaborative and dynamic team? Are you committed to providing an educational environment that will support students to thrive and achieve success?
About the role
Coastal Lakes College (CLC) is an Independent Public School (IPS) seeking to appoint a dedicated, highly competent and passionate Science and/or Mathematics Teacher to teach classes across our Year 8 to 10 Integrated Learning Pathway Program.
The successful applicant will teach smaller classes of approximately 22 students, who require a differentiated and scaffolded approach to teaching and learning. As well as smaller class sizes, students in the Integrated Learning Program are immersed in an educationally supportive and caring environment to better meet their learning needs. As such, the successful applicant should display genuine care and consideration for students, have the ability to promote an environment of active and positive engagement, and should be able to build positive relationships that support students to thrive in their education.
As the Science and Maths teacher (Year 8 – 10) you will deliver an adapted Science and Maths curriculum to maximise student engagement and confidence in their learning. To compliment the academic component of the program the Integrated Learning Program embeds social-emotional learning into classroom learning through our Zones of Regulation and You Can Do It Programs.
This opportunity would suit, but is not limited to, an applicant with knowledge, skills and/or experience in lower or middle secondary, or upper primary school. The successful applicant will ideally also have a strong skillset in working with students with low literacy and numeracy. We are looking for a teacher who possesses an underlying passion, interest and commitment to nurturing positive academic, social-emotional and well-being outcomes for students to inspire personal growth, enjoyment and success with their learning.
The successful applicant should be driven by the belief that all students can be successful learners through the delivery of a high-quality differentiated teaching and learning program, strong teacher-student relationships and high expectations for learning and achievement.
You should also possess high standards of professionalism and embrace opportunities for collaboration with other staff from across the College. You should enjoy working in a dynamic team environment, consisting of 3 other Integrated Learning teachers and a Teacher In-charge of the Program. As an expert practitioner you should have a strong commitment to excellence in teaching and engage in regular self-reflection.
