Are you an experienced educator who understands the challenges Australian teachers face with some of the most disruptive classrooms in the world?

Do you have a genuine desire to work with, support and learn from teachers?

Join us, and be part of an exciting new nationwide initiative to help teachers create engaged, positive and productive classrooms that enable students to achieve their full potential.

ABOUT US

Knowledge Society is a purpose-driven organisation that designs and delivers practice change programs. One of our focus areas is building the knowledge and capability of school leaders and teachers to improve classroom practice. We believe this is the biggest lever to improve student learning outcomes to ensure Australian children and young people graduate from our schools as knowledgeable and creative citizens.

Classroom Mastery is Knowledge Society’s signature, evidence-based program to help teachers, schools and education systems reduce classroom disruption and create safe, calm and ordered classrooms where learning takes priority. The program has been developed with leading classroom management expert, Dr Tim McDonald, to provide teachers, leaders and schools with the professional learning, resources and strategies to create safe, calm classrooms where all students belong and learn.

THE ROLE

As part of our success story with Classroom Mastery, we are seeking expressions of interest from experienced individuals to join our program coaching team.

Key responsibilities of the role include:

• Support the high fidelity implementation of the routines, strategies, skills and practices that comprise the program.
• Attend school visits to observe teachers' use of classroom management routines and scripts.
• Provide coaching and feedback to support teachers to improve their practice.
• Provide instruction and mentoring to school leaders to build their capacity as internal classroom management coaches at their schools.

We are interested in hearing from candidates based in Melbourne or Sydney to address a growing interest by schools in the eastern states of Australia.

Coaches will initially be engaged on a casual basis with a view to developing into more permanent positions as the program continues to gain momentum. The role will therefore suit someone who is already working in the schools sector and wanting to supplement their existing role with a new challenge, or someone who is looking to work flexibly in the immediate term.

Coaches will work alongside our Trainer/Coach, Classroom Mastery, with direction from our Classroom Mastery Expert.

ABOUT YOU

• Our ideal candidate will have a minimum of a Bachelor in Education, Teaching or other relevant area with demonstrated experience working in a teaching or school leadership role that includes providing coaching and feedback to other teachers.
• Demonstrated understanding of quality teaching practice and the nuances of classroom learning, including effective classroom management strategies, will be highly regarded.
• Must be based in either Melbourne or Sydney with a willingness to travel intra and interstate to deliver in-person coaching to schools.
