Macedonian Bilingual Teacher

The classroom teacher classification comprises two salary ranges- range 1 and range 2. The primary focus of the

classroom teacher is on the planning, preparation and teaching of programs to achieve specific student

outcomes. The classroom teacher engages in critical reflection and inquiry in order to improve knowledge and skills

to effectively engage students and improve their learning.

As the classroom teacher gains experience his or her contribution to the school program beyond the classroom

increases. All classroom teachers may be required to undertake other duties in addition to their rostered teaching

duties provided the responsibility is appropriate to the salary range, qualifications, training and experience of the

teacher.

Classroom teacher Range 2

Range 2 classroom teachers play a significant role in assisting the school to improve student performance and

educational outcomes determined by the school strategic plan and state-wide priorities and contributing to the

development and implementation of school policies and priorities.

A critical component of this work will focus on increasing the knowledge base of staff within their school about

student learning and high quality instruction to assist their school to define quality teacher practice.

Range 2 classroom teachers will be expected to:

• Have the content knowledge and pedagogical practice to meet the diverse needs of all students

• Model exemplary classroom practice and mentor/coach other teachers in the school to engage in critical reflection

of their practice and to support staff to expand their capacity

professional learning

• Assist staff to use student data to inform teaching approaches that enable targets related to improving student

learning outcomes to be achieved.

Classroom teacher Range 1

The primary focus of the range 1 classroom teacher is on further developing skills and competencies to become an

effective classroom practitioner with structured support and guidance from teachers at higher levels and the

planning, preparation and teaching of programs to achieve specific student outcomes. These teachers teach a

range of students/classes and are accountable for the effective delivery of their programs. Range 1 classroom

teachers are skilled teachers who operate under general direction within clear guidelines following established work

practices and documented priorities and may have responsibility for the supervision and training of one or more

student teachers.

At range 1, teachers participate in the development of school policies and programs and assist in the

implementation of school priorities.

The focus of a range 1 classroom teacher is on classroom management, subject content and teaching

practice. New entrants to the teaching profession in their initial teaching years receive structured support,

mentoring and guidance from teachers at higher levels.

Under guidance, new entrants to the teaching profession will plan and teach student groups in one or more subjects

and are expected to participate in induction programs and other professional learning activities that are designed to
