Could you lead our teacher training across a group of primary schools, helping us build a truly world class teacher development programme?
Ark Teacher Training
Launched in 2013, Ark Teacher Training is a programme for committed graduates and career changers who aim to become great teachers. Trainees spend one year in an Ark school - becoming a great teacher while learning on the job. With the support of an inspirational group of tutors, coaches and educational experts, the trainees have all the tools they need to perfect their craft. We understand the importance that the first few years of teaching have on a teacher’s future, so that’s why the programme also supports trainees for the following two years through our NQT and NQT+ schemes.
2014 saw two major milestones for the programme: the graduation of the first cohort of trainees –where over 80% of our trainees were graded outstanding; and the programme becoming an accredited teacher training provider in its own right - a first for an academy group.
The role of the Primary Tutor
We’re looking for a primary teacher who has experience of delivering outstanding achievement for pupils – particularly those with low prior attainment in challenging urban schools – to lead the programme across a group of Ark primary schools.
You will work alongside a team of Tutors and Curriculum Managers to deliver outstanding professional development sessions to primary trainees. You will directly support a group of trainees, working with their in-school coaches to make sure the trainees are developing their practice and are provided with training that is highly relevant to their needs.
You will be an excellent primary teacher with experience of coaching beginner teachers and leading professional development sessions. You will have worked in middle, or ideally senior, leadership and have an understanding of best practice in initial teacher training. Most importantly, you will be passionate about teacher development with the drive and desire to improve educational outcomes for disadvantaged students.
