Special Educational Needs Teacher (Pathway 3)
An outstanding and inspirational Special Educational Needs teacher is required for August 2024.
Within our school’s unique pathway 3 provision we offer an adapted and personalised curriculum to students with a range of learning needs and disabilities. The pathway 3 provision offers a safe and nurturing environment in which children can progress joyfully in their academic, social, and emotional development. We have pathway 3 classes across both primary and secondary phases of the school, from Year 1 to Year 13. Students are supported within a class of approximately 8 children, a class teacher and 2 teaching assistants.
The pathway 3 curriculum is designed to support individual progress through the development of 5 key areas: communication, independence, emotional well-being, core functional skills (literacy and numeracy) and physical well-being. Within the secondary school students may also work towards a range of alternative qualifications such as entry level maths, step up to English, ASDAN and BTECs. We also deliver our own DCIS Diploma for students that graduate from Pathway 3 at the end of Year 13.
If you are interested in supporting within the primary pathway 3 classes, then an experience of planning and delivering learning at primary level to students with a range of moderate learning needs will be necessary.
Working closely with other specialists in the school, including therapist and the educational psychologist, you will develop and deliver a personised curriculum for each child in your class that covers both academic and life skills aspects of learning; enabling them to achieve the best possible outcomes in our inclusive international school environment.
You will promote high expectations for our students and will be an advocate for inclusion and neurodiversity across the school. You will design personalised learning activities that are aligned to our school’s curriculum and in doing so create a learning culture which promotes our school values.
The successful candidate will be passionate about excellence in teaching and learning and committed to their own ongoing professional development to support the best possible progress and outcomes for our students.
