JOB TITLE: Teacher of Technology & Design
The Board of Governors wishes to appoint a full-time teacher of Technology and Design to A2 for Glenlola Collegiate Grammar School for Girls. The Technology Department is a dynamic, high academically performing and expanding department, which is an exciting team to be part of. It consists of three subject specialists whose teaching and learning encompasses the department vision. We strive to make teaching exciting, engaging and informative, and we challenge our students to be resilient decision makers for key technological issues which will affect their lives in the future. We use digital technology and a range of software packages to streamline our lessons, and ensure multimedia resources and websites are explored together in class to engage our learners fully. We follow the CCEA Specifications at GCSE, AS and A2, and we use a holistic approach throughout, so our Key Stage 3 curriculum acts like building blocks which provides a strong foundation for learning at KS4/5.
