Acting associate principal

Full time, Fixed term, Start Date: 29/10/2018, End Date: 05/07/2019 (Maternity leave)

We are looking for an aspiring leader to cover our deputy principals’ responsibilities while she is on maternity leave. The role ends at the end of term 2, however, it may be extended for another term.

Responsibilities will include 2 days release teaching, and 3 days completing the literacy development programme before implementing and leading the literacy action plan for 2019. If it is possible, we will organise this particular role as a job share with a current teacher.

You will also be required to pick up the ESOL portfolio and manage any PLD, documentation for verification and observe ESOL learners in order to provide feedback on acceleration.

As well, you will be responsible for providing support for 4 teachers as they progress through their teaching inquiries. This means helping them to navigate the process, monitoring and cheerleading them through the process and helping them synthesise their learning ready for presentation.

The current DP takes responsibility for leading and supporting the Y4–8 areas of the school.

You do not need to be an experienced AP or DP so we encourage those who are aspiring, good teachers to apply. We want someone who is enthusiastic and willing to go the extra mile. You must have an empathy for Māori and Pasifika students and their families, and you should have strengths in positive relationships with the community and other staff. We want someone who is able to work collaboratively with the senior leadership team, as well as all our staff and expect you to bring these skills to the table.

We will provide some induction with the current DP before she leaves and give support over the period of the contract.
