The successful applicant will ideally self-reflect and assess the effectiveness of their teaching practice, promote an environment of active and positive learning, and provide educational opportunities and activities which enable students to achieve their highest potential. The ideal applicant will have knowledge and experience in delivering an engaging, student-centred Technologies curriculum and be willing to broaden their expertise across multiple areas of the learning area. They will encourage creativity, innovation and problem-solving while supporting students to pursue further study, training and career pathways. Providing a safe, efficient and effective learning environment remains a key priority for this position.
