Afrikaans First Additional Language Teacher

Your subject, your classroom and learners who need you to believe in them: that's this low-fee private school in Bellville. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

This post is Bellville-based, with most of your time spent at a low-fee private school.

• Set, mark and moderate formal assessment tasks for the term
• Keep learner profiles and a tidy teacher file for subject advisers
• Capture marks on SA-SAMS or the school's reporting platform before deadlines
• Meet parents to discuss progress, behaviour and support plans
• Handle classroom discipline with the school's code of conduct
• Use data projectors, smartboards or tablets where the school has them

• Good spoken and written command of the language of teaching
• You can manage a class of 35 or more without losing control
• Sound knowledge of CAPS and the assessment policy for your phase
• At least 1 year of classroom teaching, including teaching practice
• Full SACE registration (provisional registration only for student or newly qualified teachers)
• A B.Ed, or a degree plus PGCE, in the phase and subject you'll teach

• Honours degree in your subject or in education management
• Experience marking for the NSC or IEB

• Pension and medical aid for permanent posts
• Fee discount for your own children at independent schools
• Housing allowance for SGB and state-funded posts where it applies

• Mention the extra-murals you can run, as smaller schools often choose the teacher who can also coach.
• Bring a short sample lesson to the interview; many schools ask you to teach for 15 minutes.
