We are seeking VIT (or equivalent) registered prep-12 teachers from a range of teaching areas who have a passion for learning. Such teachers can display superb skills in some key areas:
- Staying power,
- Tolerance of quirkiness and emotions,
- Uncanny ability to listen without judgment and criticism,
- Being prepared and having the courage to be challenged to have to seek new information, sometimes mid-sentence,
- Persons who share their passions with students as guides, not as teachers,
- Almost fanatical desire to elicit positive change in a student and their environments.
Such teachers must:
- Live with gifted and/or to have studied an area of giftedness,
- Be willing to engage in further study,
- Have an energetic personality but not necessarily be an extravert,
- Be happy thinking on your feet.
Such teachers are asked to deliver:
- Curriculum that is beyond the traditional,
- Curriculum (or Content) designed to include creativity, independence, problem-solving,
- Enrichment but not always as an extension,
- High quality, real-world tasks,
- Innovative and entrepreneur-like tasks,
- Development of critical thinking, optimism, communication, and collaboration.
If you are an experienced pre-12 trained VIT teacher with a specialisation in maths, software engineering, digital technology, or science we would love to hear from you.
