Teacher of Music job summary
Please note that interviews may be conducted on a rolling basis with the view of a successful appointment being made before 31st May 2022.
About the role: Stationers' Crown Woods Academy are looking for an inspiring Teacher of Music to join our team in September 2022, or earlier if available. Our successful candidate will deliver high-quality learning opportunities for our students in this curriculum area. Applications are welcomed from both experienced and newly qualified teachers as we can offer fantastic professional development at every stage of a teacher’s career.
Our pedagogical approach is based on the latest 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.
The successful candidate will be responsible for classroom teaching, one to one piano and vocal teaching and leading a choir.
Our ideal candidate will have:
Strong subject knowledge and enthusiasm for Music
Experience of teaching GCSE
A comprehensive understanding of the research and cognitive science behind what makes effective teaching
The desire to forge strong relationships with colleagues and willingness to collaborate for the benefit of all students and staff
