Leading Teachers @ Glenroy

Leading teachers will be highly skilled classroom practitioners and undertake leadership and management roles commensurate with their salary range. The role of leading teachers is to improve the skill, knowledge and performance of the teaching workforce in a school, and to improve the curriculum and engagement program of a school.

Leading teachers are responsible for coordinating staff to achieve improvements in teaching and learning which will involve modelling exemplary practice, using student data, collaborating on evidence-based programs, coaching individuals and groups of staff, and using processes that develop knowledge, practice and professional engagement in others.

Leading teachers are expected to lead and manage a significant area or function within the school with a high degree of independence to ensure the effective development, provision and evaluation of the school’s education program. Leading teachers will be expected to lead a component of the School's Strategic and Annual Plan, and make a significant contribution to policy development relating to teaching and learning in the school.

All leading teachers are pedagogical leaders across the college, this includes actively leading participating and contributing to the work in all teams (including planning teams, domain meetings, professional learning teams, and more). This also means the ongoing modelling of exemplary teaching, learning and assessment practises in the classroom.
