About the ACT Education Directorate:

We deliver high-quality public education for children and young people across the ACT. Our mission is to provide excellent, fair and equitable learning opportunities where every student feels safe, valued and supported to thrive.

ACT public schools educate more than 50,000 students across 93 schools including early childhood schools, preschools, primary schools, high schools, colleges and specialist school settings.

Through our Strong Foundations program, we are delivering a consistent evidence-based approach to learning across ACT public schools. This program is implementing 10 proven teaching strategies – including explicit literacy and numeracy instruction – and a standard assessment schedule from kindergarten to year 10, keeping wellbeing and learning outcomes at the centre of every student’s journey.

More information can be found on the ACT Education Directorate website.

Join a collaborative and supportive team focused on student wellbeing and achieving student learning outcomes.
Apply teaching strategies and curriculum knowledge to drive improved student outcomes.
Bring well-developed classroom management, communication and interpersonal skills to effectively engage and motivate students.
Support students’ diverse needs, creating an inclusive classroom where every student feels valued and supported.
Contribute to whole-school initiatives and contribute to and foster a positive school culture.

What we’re looking for:

Primary expertise: Strong curriculum knowledge and a proven focus on effective literacy and numeracy pedagogies.

The ACT Education Directorate is committed to workforce diversity and to creating an inclusive workplace. As part of this commitment, we welcome applications from all diversity groups. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, people with disability and people who identify as LGBTQIA+ are particularly encouraged to apply. Visit the website to find out more about rewarding careers when you teach in Canberra.

All offers of employment are made under the Public Sector Management Act 1994 and are made on the basis that you satisfy all relevant pre-employment checks. All new ACTPS employees must complete pre-employment checks before starting employment and hold Mandatory Registration to Teach in the ACT (Active TQI and Working with Vulnerable People Registration).

Note: Under the ACTPS employment framework you may be placed in another role where required for the efficient administration of the service.

The ACT public service is committed to closing the gap, underpinned by the belief that when Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have a genuine say in the design and delivery of policies, programs and services that affect them, better life outcomes are achieved.
