Job Details
To build a fair education for all, we need to unlock the potential in all children - not just some. Together, we're making it happen. Every day, our work takes us closer to a better future. But we need to do more. It's a big challenge - and we need your help to take it on.
Development Lead - Mathematics (SDLs) most frequently work on our Training Programme but may also work on other Teach First programmes such as ECF and SCITT. As an SDL you will deliver training to our teachers, largely online, to support their progress. You will also use your expertise both as a teacher and a subject specialist to contribute to our learning design across programmes. You'll work with a portfolio of trainees to develop their subject knowledge and subject-specific pedagogy. You will collaborate with other support roles, to see trainees grow into leaders, committed to making a difference to educational inequality.
As Development Lead - Mathematics, you'll work on the Training Programme to teach a subject-specific area of our secondary curriculum. Our secondary subjects for QTS are: English, Mathematics, Science, Design & Technology, Modern Foreign Languages (French and Spanish), Computing, Business, Music, History, Geography and Religious Education.
* Do you have experience of developing others within the context of your subject specialism?
* Are you a subject matter expert, and is your knowledge of the pedagogy underpinning your subject specialism exemplary?
* Do you have QTS (or equivalent) and have been a school leader?
* Is your knowledge of the Teachers' Standards (2012), the Initial Teacher Training (ITT) Core Content Framework and the Early Career Framework excellent?
* Have you developed, mentored and coached inexperienced teachers within a training route for at least two years e.g. PGCE, Schools Direct, Teach First etc?
Yes to the above? Then we want to hear from you. You might be our next Development Lead - Mathematics!
