Life Sciences Teacher (Independent High School) – Fixed-Term

Your subject, your classroom and learners who need you to believe in them: that's this public high school in Pretoria East. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

Home base is a public high school on the Pretoria East side of Gauteng.

• Keep learner profiles and a tidy teacher file for subject advisers
• Give extra lessons to learners who are falling behind
• Meet parents to discuss progress, behaviour and support plans
• Use data projectors, smartboards or tablets where the school has them
• Handle classroom discipline with the school's code of conduct
• Plan weekly lessons against the CAPS annual teaching plan

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

• Housing allowance for SGB and state-funded posts where it applies
• Fee discount for your own children at independent schools
• Pension and medical aid for permanent posts
• School holidays in line with the school calendar

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