Position Overview

The role of a classroom educator encompasses two distinct salary classifications, each with specific responsibilities and expectations. The primary objective of the classroom educator is to design, prepare, and deliver educational programs aimed at achieving defined student learning outcomes. This role requires ongoing self-assessment and inquiry to enhance teaching effectiveness and foster student engagement.

As educators progress in their careers, their involvement in school initiatives outside the classroom expands. All educators may be tasked with additional responsibilities beyond their scheduled teaching duties, provided these align with their qualifications, training, and experience.

A vital aspect of this position involves enhancing the knowledge of fellow staff members regarding student learning and high-quality instructional practices, thereby helping the school define exemplary teaching standards.

Level 2 educators are expected to:

• Possess comprehensive content knowledge and pedagogical skills to cater to the diverse needs of all learners.

At this level, educators participate in the development of school policies and programs and assist in implementing school priorities.
