Grade R Teacher (Primary School)

A low-fee private school in Pretoria East needs a teacher who can hold a class and lift the marks. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

This post is Pretoria East-based, with most of your time spent at a low-fee private school. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

• Capture marks on SA-SAMS or the school's reporting platform before deadlines
• Supervise break duty, sport or a cultural activity each term
• Plan weekly lessons against the CAPS annual teaching plan
• Prepare Grade 12 learners for prelims and the NSC exams
• Keep learner profiles and a tidy teacher file for subject advisers
• Teach your allocated classes and keep the pace of the ATP

• You can manage a class of 35 or more without losing control
• A B.Ed, or a degree plus PGCE, in the phase and subject you'll teach
• At least 1 year of classroom teaching, including teaching practice
• Clear record on the National Register for Sex Offenders and a police clearance
• Full SACE registration (provisional registration only for student or newly qualified teachers)

• Honours degree in your subject or in education management
• Coaching experience in a major school sport
• Experience with remedial or inclusive education

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

• 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.
