Life Sciences Teacher (Independent High School)

Your subject, your classroom and learners who need you to believe in them: that's this faith-based independent school in Polokwane. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

This post is Polokwane-based, with most of your time spent at a faith-based independent school. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

• Attend staff meetings, subject meetings and district workshops
• Supervise break duty, sport or a cultural activity each term
• Use data projectors, smartboards or tablets where the school has them
• Set, mark and moderate formal assessment tasks for the term
• Meet parents to discuss progress, behaviour and support plans
• Handle classroom discipline with the school's code of conduct

• Sound knowledge of CAPS and the assessment policy for your phase
• Good spoken and written command of the language of teaching
• You can manage a class of 35 or more without losing control
• Full SACE registration (provisional registration only for student or newly qualified teachers)
• Clear record on the National Register for Sex Offenders and a police clearance

• Experience with remedial or inclusive education
• Coaching experience in a major school sport

• School holidays in line with the school calendar
• Pension and medical aid for permanent posts
• Housing allowance for SGB and state-funded posts where it applies

• Add your matric results or pass rates for your classes if they improved; hard numbers beat adjectives.
• Mention the extra-murals you can run, as smaller schools often choose the teacher who can also coach.
