To start May .
In East Lothian, we have collaborated as senior leaders and practitioners to establish shared expectations for high quality learning and teaching across our schools in line with our East Lothian Values of Enable, Lead and Care. We have organised these expectations into 3 pedagogy sails which underpin these values through high quality Learning (Enable), Leadership (Lead) and Relationships (Care).
Our Pedagogy Team work closely with our Quality Improvement Team to work in schools, alongside practitioners, to support aspects of pedagogical improvement identified through quality assurance, review, and inspection. There is an exciting opportunity for an experienced classroom practitioner to join the Pedagogy Team until the end of session -26 to support this ongoing work. The successful candidate will have a proven track record of their impactful pedagogy and how this leads to high quality engagement, challenge and feedback for learners across the curriculum. The successful candidate will also be expected to evidence their experience in leading others in school improvement work, and their ability to manage pace of change and the evaluation of the impact of improvement actions upon outcomes for learners.
The post will be based at East Lothian Council HQ, John Muir House, Haddington, but the majority of the working week will be spent in East Lothian schools working independently to support practitioners and school leaders to create capacity for improvement in pedagogical approaches across the four themes of QI2.3 Learning, Teaching and Assessment. The post qualifies for travel expenses, as well as periods of home working at certain times of the school session, and salary will be based on the national Principal Teacher salary scale.
Candidates may apply for this post on a secondment basis, however you must seek approval from your line manager before doing so.
