**Arts TeacheBallarat Clarendon College - Different by Design**

Ballarat Clarendon College is different by design. Our knowledge-rich and sequenced curriculum, commitment to explicit teaching, structured lessons, classroom management and data-informed practices set us apart - deliberately so.

At Clarendon, we believe learning should never be a lottery. Students shouldn't feel ‘lucky' to have one teacher and ‘unlucky' to have another. If a teacher is using a powerful analogy, a well-sequenced task or a nuanced explanation that helps students grasp a complex concept, then every teacher should know about it - and use it. Everyone wants to get better.

We believe all students deserve the best curriculum we can offer - one that is grounded in research and explicitly taught. This belief drives our approach to common planning and the development of a high-quality curriculum that benefits both students and staff.

Clarendon's commitment to professional learning - using research-based best practice to improve - ensures that our teachers, working closely with and learning from their colleagues, strive, thrive and achieve.

We are about learning. That might sound obvious for a school. Yet, to us, every interaction, every brushstroke, every performance, every critique is an opportunity for learning. We are as much about teacher learning as we are about student learning.

And who wouldn't want to be part of that? Who wouldn't want to get better all the time?

Clarendon is not like other schools. Deliberately so. We are daring and we are intentionally and purposefully different.

If Clarendon sounds like the type of school you'd like to be a part of, we're keen to meet with you.
