This position requires a dynamic educator who can differentiate instruction to inspire mixed-ability classes and create challenging, engaging learning opportunities. You will be responsible for documenting scholar progress, managing compliance, and integrating technology to support the district's Academic Plan. Beyond the classroom, you will act as a role model, fostering positive relationships with parents, colleagues, and the wider community through regular communication and active participation in school initiatives like Response to Intervention (RtI) and Positive Behavior Support (PBIS).
