Grade R Teacher (Primary School) – Fixed-Term

You'll plan and teach CAPS lessons that stick at a public high school in Kuruman. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

The work is in Kuruman, Northern Cape, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

• Meet parents to discuss progress, behaviour and support plans
• Use data projectors, smartboards or tablets where the school has them
• Supervise break duty, sport or a cultural activity each term
• Plan weekly lessons against the CAPS annual teaching plan
• Keep learner profiles and a tidy teacher file for subject advisers
• Set, mark and moderate formal assessment tasks for the term

• Clear record on the National Register for Sex Offenders and a police clearance
• Good spoken and written command of the language of teaching
• At least 1 year of classroom teaching, including teaching practice
• You can manage a class of 35 or more without losing control
• Sound knowledge of CAPS and the assessment policy for your phase
• A B.Ed, or a degree plus PGCE, in the phase and subject you'll teach

• Housing allowance for SGB and state-funded posts where it applies
• Pension and medical aid for permanent posts
• Paid SACE CPTD workshops

• Add your matric results or pass rates for your classes if they improved; hard numbers beat adjectives.
• Bring a short sample lesson to the interview; many schools ask you to teach for 15 minutes.
