Key Stage 2 Teacher - Sutton Coldfield in Birmingham

Fantastic opportunity for a Year 4, Year 5 Teacher and leadership cover teacher in a wonderful school in Walmley.

Monday, Wednesday and Thursday: Covering flexible worker arrangements within Year 4, working across one Year 4 class. Friday: Covering a Year 5 class to facilitate a flexible working arrangement. Tuesday: Leadership and management cover across the school. This would require close collaboration with the Year 4 and the Year 5 teaching team to ensure continuity and consistency.

This will appeal to someone who enjoys classroom teaching and curriculum planning but does not necessarily wish to take on the wider responsibilities associated with leading a single class, such as classroom organisation and displays. The position would suit a highly organised, flexible and collaborative practitioner who can build strong relationships with colleagues and quickly establish positive learning environments across different classes.

Areas of Responsibility and Key Tasks:

• Identifying clear teaching objectives and specifying how they will be taught and assessed;
• Setting tasks which challenge pupils and ensure high levels of interest;
• Identifying SEN or very able pupils;
• Providing clear structures for lessons maintaining pace, motivation and challenge;
• Making effective use of assessment and ensuring coverage of programmes of study;
• Ensuring effective teaching and best use of available time;
• Maintaining discipline in accordance with the school's procedures and encouraging good practice with regard to punctuality, behaviour, standards of work and homework;
• Using a variety of teaching methods to match approach to content, structure information, present a set of key ideas and use appropriate vocabulary;
• Using effective questioning, listening carefully to pupils, giving attention to errors and misconceptions;
• Ensuring pupils acquire and consolidate knowledge, skills and understanding appropriate to the subject taught;
• Evaluating own teaching critically to improve effectiveness;
• Ensuring the effective and efficient deployment of classroom support;
• Taking account of pupils' needs by providing structured learning opportunities which develop the areas of learning identified in national and local policies and particularly the foundations for literacy and numeracy;
• Encouraging pupils to think and talk about their learning, develop self-control and independence, concentrate and persevere, and listen attentively.

You must be a Qualified Teacher with QTS with experience working in Key Stage 2 and possibly with Leadership capabilities.
