Location Profile

GroupBox1

Mount Clear College is nestled into an idyllic bush setting on the edge of the Canadian forest, six kilometres from the centre of Ballarat. It is a 7 to 12 coeducational College with a current student enrolment of approximately 1070 students. The essence of the Colleges philosophy is to provide educational opportunities of the highest quality where each student is challenged to reach their full potential. College resources include a highly experienced and dedicated staff, who promote quality teaching and learning within a secure safe learning community.
Mount Clear College teachers model lifelong learning, which involves continually working together to enhance their teaching practice in line with best practice. Curriculum in the junior school is organised according to the eight learning areas and all course development is aligned with the AusVELS. The senior school curriculum allows students to design an individual program through a comprehensive range of Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) & Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL) studies, providing real pathways to post-secondary opportunities. VET opportunities available to both VCE and VCAL students are vast and made available through Strong partnerships with Federation and the Ballarat VETIS cluster.
Alongside traditional education programs Mount Clear offers a magnitude of diverse academic and cultural programs. The College has a long standing SEAL program which is highly regarded within the community, providing the opportunity for likeminded, gifted students to fast track years 7 to 10 in three years. We secured Australia's first Confucius Classroom in 2009 in partnership with the Chinese government and have strong ties with partnership schools in Asia, allowing our students and teachers to swap knowledge, build friendships and broaden their understanding of the world. Mount Clear College's purpose built Language Centre has become the Hub of LOTE and cultural programs throughout the region for Japanese and Chinese providing immersion programs to Primary Schools across the region. Mount Clear also has one of only six Specialist Science and Mathematics Centres in Victoria, the Earth Ed Centre. The Centre provides specialist day programs for students, professional development activities for teachers and is a hub for science education in the state. Primary and Secondary students from across Victoria attend programs provided by our Earth Education Centre, a shared resource for all Victorian students with a total of 4547 students booked in for the 2014 school year.
Mount Clear College is an exciting place to work and offers incredible opportunities and cultural diversity for both our students and our staff.

Role

GroupBox1

The classroom teacher classification comprises two salary ranges- range 1 and range 2. The primary focus of the classroom teacher is on the planning, preparation and teaching of programs to achieve specific student outcomes. The classroom teacher engages in critical reflection and inquiry in order to improve knowledge and skills to effectively engage students and improve their learning.

As the classroom teacher gains experience his or her contribution to the school program beyond the classroom increases. All classroom teachers may be required to undertake other duties in addition to their rostered teaching duties provided the responsibility is appropriate to the salary range, qualifications, training and experience of the teacher.

Classroom teacher Range 2
Range 2 classroom teachers play a significant role in assisting the school to improve student performance and educational outcomes determined by the school strategic plan and state-wide priorities and contributing to the development and implementation of school policies and priorities.

A critical component of this work will focus on increasing the knowledge base of staff within their school about student learning and high quality instruction to assist their school to define quality teacher practice.

Range 2 classroom teachers will be expected to:
- Have the content knowledge and pedagogical practice to meet the diverse needs of all students
- Model exemplary classroom practice and mentor/coach other teachers in the school to engage in critical reflection of their practice and to support staff to expand their capacity
- Provide expert advice about the content, processes and strategies that will shape individual and school professional learning
- Supervise and train one or more student teachers
- Assist staff to use student data to inform teaching approaches that enable targets related to improving student learning outcomes to be achieved.

Classroom teacher Range 1
The primary focus of the range 1 classroom teacher is on further developing skills and competencies to become an effective classroom practitioner with structured support and guidance from teachers at higher levels and the planning, preparation and teaching of programs to achieve specific student outcomes. These teachers teach a range of students/classes and are accountable for the effective delivery of their programs. Range 1 classroom teachers are skilled teachers who operate under general direction within clear guidelines following established work practices and documented priorities and may have responsibility for the supervision and training of one or more student teachers.

At range 1, teachers participate in the development of school policies and programs and assist in the implementation of school priorities.
The focus of a range 1 classroom teacher is on classroom management, subject content and teaching practice. New entrants to the teaching profession in their initial teaching years receive structured support, mentoring and guidance from teachers at higher levels.

Under guidance, new entrants to the teaching profession will plan and teach student groups in one or more subjects and are expected to participate in induction programs and other professional learning activities that are designed to ensure the integration of curriculum, assessment and pedagogy across the school.

Teachers at range 1 are responsible for teaching their own classes and may also assist and participate in policy development, project teams and the organisation of co-curricula activities.
