Job description

Calling all Departmental Heads!

Teach The Nation (TTN) recruits a network of exceptional leaders who want to address the inequity that characterises our current public education system. Through our two-year scholarship, our leaders will bring change to their communities and the greater South African Education space.

As part of our program, you will develop yourself as a professional leader through our Conscious Leadership (CL) and High Impact Teaching Strategies (HITS) needed to change learners' lives in high-need schools. You are the Change Maker in classrooms and communities!

TTN invites Departmental Heads (DH) who are eager to be Change Makers and create lasting impact to apply for our fully funded scholarship. This programme is designed to positively influence learners' lives by equipping educators with core leadership and teaching skills.

Why do we want to support and empower Departmental Heads?

Departmental Heads (DHs) are the engine of school transformation, serving as curriculum leaders, teacher mentors, and instructional coaches. They are key school leaders whose influence shapes school culture by improving subject team performance, driving curriculum planning, using data to inform teaching, leading assessment and learner achievement, and fostering a collaborative culture of excellence.

This scholarship aims to strengthen your ability to meet these responsibilities related to the Quality Management System (QMS) and Personnel Administrative Measures (PAM) through targeted coaching, classroom practice support, and real-world leadership development.
