Student Services: Primary Literacy Consultant

Student Services: Primary Literacy Consultant 

Position to Commence in 2018  

The Association of Independent Schools of NSW (AISNSW) is the peak body for independent schools in NSW and provides a range of services to independent schools across NSW and the ACT. 

 Education Consultants at AISNSW operate in a dynamic team-oriented environment and work across the curriculum in a diverse range of schools, each with its own ethos, specialties and operational style.  

We are currently seeking a full-time Primary Literacy Consultant to join our Student Services team. This role will involve supporting schools to implement evidence-based, whole class literacy approaches to improve student outcomes. Experience in the analysis of school-based literacy assessment data and how to use this information to plan and implement explicit and systematic literacy instruction focused on K-2 is essential.   

The successful applicant will be responsible for developing and leading school-based professional learning consultancies and will have a thorough understanding of the empirical research underpinning the acquisition of early reading, writing and spelling skills. Extensive content knowledge of early literacy concepts is essential. The role will involve working in an instructional coaching capacity to support K-2 classroom teachers and as such demonstrated expertise in the practical application of content knowledge to teaching and learning is necessary.  

This role would suit a skilled K-6 classroom practitioner or learning support teacher/coordinator.  

Applicants are required to provide a copy of their curriculum vitae and a covering letter addressing the expanded role description and analysis.  

Applications should be received by the close of business on Wednesday, 25th October 2017.
