Teacher of Drama and English job summary
About the role: Stationers' Crown Woods Academy has a rare and exciting opportunity for an exceptional Teacher of Drama and English to join us from September 2021, working within our highly collaborative and dynamic Drama and English teams to deliver engaging and challenging lessons. We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, motivated and engaging teacher to join two thriving and very successful departments. Our successful candidate will have the skills, determination, commitment and drive to ensure that our students achieve and succeed at the highest levels. We are looking for a candidate who has experience of teaching both subjects at different levels and GCSE and A-level Drama experience is desirable. The successful candidate will also be expected to be involved in Drama enrichment opportunities and school productions.
Our pedagogical approach is based on the latest evidence and research and ensures that teaching is efficient and effective whilst prioritising staff wellbeing. We ask our teachers to plan for a rigorous learning experience in which knowledge is broken down into manageable chunks so as to prevent cognitive overload and allow our students to remain focused on what is important. We believe that knowledge should and needs to be taught explicitly from the front by the subject expert in the room. Working in this way allows our students to focus on the recall and activation of that knowledge and bring it to bear on conceptually focused questions. Through direct instruction, retrieval practice, low stakes testing and question level analysis in all year groups, we believe that subject gaps will be tackled as they occur and that proactively working in this manner will eliminate the need for reactive intervention in exam year groups.
What are we looking for in you? To be successful you need to be a qualified teacher who is passionate and knowledgeable about your subject and possesses the ability to teach consistently at an outstanding level. Whether you are at the start of your career or an expert teacher we focus on what attributes you will bring to the academy and most importantly what impact you will have on our students. As a Trust we feel it is important to hire for the right attitude which is why we look for teachers that are enthusiastic, focused and resilient to the day to day pressures that teaching brings.
