Multilevel Classroom Teacher

Our wonderful little school up the hill is looking for an experienced, enthusiastic and adaptable teacher to join our small but mighty team!

Lee Stream School might be small in numbers, but we're certainly not short on personality, opportunities or enthusiasm! We have a fantastic bunch of tamariki, a supportive rural community and a school where everyone knows everyone.

We love making the most of our rural surroundings, getting out and about, and providing our learners with experiences beyond the classroom walls. Being a small school means everyone mucks in, no two days are quite the same, and a good sense of humour goes a long way!

The position

This 0.5 position involves 4 mornings teaching collaboratively alongside our teaching principal, with a focus on literacy and numeracy, and 1 afternoon teaching independently to provide principal release.

We would love to hear from you if you:

• have experience teaching across multiple year levels and can confidently cater for a wide range of ages, abilities and learning needs
• are a collaborative team player who is equally confident working independently and taking initiative
• are flexible, adaptable and can think on your feet – small-school life certainly keeps you on your toes!
• have a sound understanding of the New Zealand Curriculum, structured literacy and effective mathematics teaching practices
• have strong classroom management skills and value positive relationships and PB4L
• enjoy being part of a close-knit rural community and are happy to muck in with all aspects of school life
• bring enthusiasm, fresh ideas and a great sense of humour!

If you're an experienced teacher who loves variety, enjoys a challenge and thinks a small rural school might be your cup of tea, we'd love to hear from you!
