The opportunity
Kristin School is a co-educational, non-denominational, independent school on Auckland’s North Shore. It provides education for over 1700 students from Early Learning to Year 13, with dual pathways through NCEA and the International Baccalaureate programme.
Kristin is committed to enabling all children to fulfil their potential and has developed an Enrichment programme with dedicated Enrichment teachers who work as part of the year-level team to ensure high levels of differentiation. Enrichment teachers each have their own space for "pull out" sessions, and also "push-in" to support in their year level's Homeroom classrooms. This is a unique opportunity for an experienced teacher who would enjoy working predominantly (but not exclusively) with small groups of students to provide both consolidation and extension. These Enrichment sessions would usually occur in the mornings, but the ideal successful applicant would have a degree of flexibility in their schedule to work overtime in the afternoons on occasion. This opportunity would initially involve working with our Year 1 students and team, but the ideal applicant would be open to possible changes of year level in the future.
Important Skills
You will be a team player who demonstrates a comprehensive knowledge of the New Zealand curriculum and has expertise with differentiation programmes that improve student outcomes in a primary school environment. Experience successfully supporting students who are Gifted and Talented, and/or have specific learning differences such as dyslexia would be particularly relevant to this role, as would experience supporting students for are English Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL). It would be advantageous if you were familiar with the teaching of Literacy with an explicit and structured approach, were able to use manipulatives such as those in Numicon to ensure deep understanding of Math concepts, and the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP). However, support will be provided to the successful applicant. Passionate about building student self-efficacy and belief in their ability to succeed, you will embrace Kristin’s values; “Progress with vision, integrity and love”.
