Appointment Pool
Dardanup Primary School (PS) is seeking to establish a pool of Teachers K-6 for appointments to permanent and fixed term, full-time and part-time vacancies which may arise during the 2022 school year. Appointments can be made from the pool at any time for commencements within the 2022 school year.
Suitable applicants will ideally have a strong knowledge of all key elements of the Early Years (Kindergarten to Year 2) and/or Primary (Years 3 to 6) curriculum and pedagogy as well as an ability to inspire students to develop a passion for learning in vibrant, engaging and supportive classrooms. You will have excellent interpersonal skills and an ability to build effective working relationships with students, staff and committed to fostering and maintaining positive communication and relationships within the school and wider community.
Dardanup PS promotes a contemporary learning environment that empowers students to learn, grow and thrive. This focus means you will be self-reflective and committed to your own professional growth, using opportunities to gather, analyse and assess system, whole-of-school and classroom-based student achievement data in order make evidence-based decisions about you own teaching practice, as well as the practice of collaborative teams, with a relentless focus on improving outcomes for all students. The utilisation of peer and classroom observations and feedback to support professional development will form an important aspect of this role, as will the capacity to work as an active and effective member of a collaborative team, by sharing experiences and resources, responding to feedback and demonstrating an ongoing commitment to professional development.
Teachers who have additional expertise in key school approaches such as Classroom Management Stategies (CMS); I do, We do; You Do Explicit Teaching Model; Brightpath and iMaths will be highly regarded
