Role

The classroom teacher classification comprises two salary ranges - range 1 and range 2. The primary focus of the classroom teacher is on the planning, preparation and teaching of programs to achieve specific student outcomes. Classroom teachers engage in critical reflection and inquiry to improve knowledge and skills, effectively engage students, and improve their learning. As teachers gain experience, their contribution to the school program beyond the classroom increases; all may be required to undertake additional duties where appropriate to their salary range, qualifications and training.

Responsibilities

• Direct teaching of groups of students and individual students;
• Contributing to the development, implementation and evaluation of a curriculum area or other curriculum program within the school;
• Undertaking other classroom teaching related and organisational duties as determined by the School Principal;
• Participating in activities such as parent/teacher meetings, staff meetings, camps and excursions;
• Undertaking other non teaching supervisory duties.
