Role:

Leading teachers will be highly skilled classroom practitioners and undertake leadership and management roles commensurate with their salary range.

The role of leading teachers is to improve the skill, knowledge and performance of the teaching workforce in a school or group of schools and to improve the curriculum program of a school.

Typically, leading teachers are responsible for coordinating a number of staff to achieve improvements in teaching and learning which may involve the coordination and professional support of colleagues through modelling, collaborating and coaching and using processes that develop knowledge, practice and professional engagement in others.

Leading teachers are expected to lead and manage a significant area or function within the school with a high degree of independence to ensure the effective development, provision and evaluation of the school's education program.

Leading teachers will be expected to make a significant contribution to policy development relating to teaching and learning in the school.

A leading teacher has a direct impact and influence on the achievement of the school goals.

Leading teachers are usually responsible for the implementation of one or more priorities contained in the school strategic plan.

LEADERSHIP STATEMENT

Hume Central Secondary College recognises the need for a strong and supportive leadership team committed to the College vision and able to develop and implement the School Strategic Plan (SSP) and Annual Implementation Plan (AIP) targets to meet set goals.

Whilst most Leading Teacher positions may be linked to the work of a particular AIP area, there is an expectation that all College priorities are reflected in the daily practice of all Leading Teachers.

LEAD TEACHERS
Lead teachers are recognised and respected by colleagues, parents/carers and community members as exemplary teachers. They have demonstrated consistent and innovative teaching practice over time. Inside and outside the school they initiate and lead activities that focus on improving educational opportunities for all students. They establish inclusive learning environments, meeting the needs of students from different linguistic, cultural, religious and socio-economic backgrounds. They continue to seek ways to improve their own practice and to share their experience with colleagues.

They lead processes to improve student performance by evaluating and revising programs, analysing student assessment data and taking account of feedback from parents/guardians.

This is combined with a synthesis of current research on effective teaching and learning. They represent the school and the teaching profession in the community.

It is expected that Leading Teachers at the College will:

demonstrate exemplary classroom practice and create structures to promote reflective teaching practice, continuous learning and shared responsibility for student outcomes

- build and maintain collaborative teams and develop cooperative working relationships with students, families and teachers that lead to improved outcomes for students
- work with the College Leadership Team in the strategic implementation of actions from the SSP and AIP Strategic Teams, and actively participate in the work of the Student Learning Team
- actively promote and continue to
