    Ed Support Level 1-Range 2 - Melbourne, United States - Schools (Government)

    Default job background
    Description

    Role

    Require attendance from to Monday to Friday (5 Hours 30 Minutes per day).

    An education support class position at this range will perform tasks that are carried out in accordance with guidelines, accepted practice, and school policy under supervision and direction. This may include coordination of other education support class staff within the work area or educational program.

    An education support class position supports the educational services being provided to students but must not include duties of a teacher as defined in clause of the Education and Training Reform Act 2006 (Vic) or its successor. Supervision of students can be required individually or in groups up to 4 in controlled circumstances and where the responsibility for students remains clearly with a teacher.

    Certification and/or qualifications of up to three years can be required at this level (noting that Registered Nurse is not included at this level, the first level for which is Level 1 range 3).

    A role at this range may include:

  • Specific support tasks to achieve outcomes. Typically, this will involve accountability for a single function, ( ensuring data is properly maintained) or the co-ordination of a work area under the direction of the principal or a manager.
  • Assisting teachers, within an educational program, by undertaking specific support tasks or the coordination of the support function.
  • Supervised health and wellbeing support tasks, medical intervention support tasks, or other specialised student/teacher support roles ( enrolled nurses performing the role as described in schedule 3). These roles require specific qualifications and/or training, including roles where further training must be undertaken from time to time. The role is for a specific purpose, for which there will be direct accountability as opposed to support roles that are carried out by a range of staff performing routine tasks under direction.
  • An education support class position at this range commencing at the base will initially be limited to undertaking routine tasks that are carried out under close supervision and direction. Work that carries some degree of independence will generally involve a limited number of tasks performed on a regular basis where priorities are clear, procedures are well established, and direction is readily available. Subject to any specific qualification and/or training requirement, an education support class employee employed in this range may be progressively required to undertake coordination, specialised student/teacher support tasks, or technical tasks as experience in the role is gained.
  • Responsibilities

  • Provides routine support for teachers including assisting with planning of student routines
  • Supports communication between teachers and parents
  • Communicates with teachers on routine matters related to students and/or other responsibilities
  • Provides basic physical care and wellbeing support for students such as toileting, meals, and lifting
  • Communicating with student/s to support comprehension of basic tasks and information
  • Addresses immediate behavioural presentations relating to specific students within a classroom setting aligned to school policy and procedure
  • Provides basic support and supervision for individuals or groups of up to 4 students within a classroom setting
  • Supports teachers in the coordination of educational programs independently or under minimal supervision, including rostering and organising the work of a team of aides, providing routine co-ordination, guidance, and support to other student support staff, liaising with external providers of support services about clearly defined support needs and resources, assisting teachers with the communication of student outcomes and educational programs
  • Provides medical intervention support to a student/s, under specific conditions, with appropriate training and guidance
  • Provides specialised communication support for students and teachers in areas such as AUSLAN and braille
  • Who May Apply

    Individuals with the aptitude, experience and/or qualifications to fulfill the specific requirements of the position.

  • Location Profile

    Princes Hill Primary School is located in the City of Yarra in the North-Western suburbs of Melbourne, approximately four kilometres from the Melbourne Central Business District, with a capped enrolment of 450 children. The school was founded in 1889. Princes Hill has a vibrant and inclusive community and the school's culture of respect and care for others fosters a cooperative environment. The school is developing as a strong community through meaningful and authentic collaboration; this enables the children to shape the present and the future of their community. The school's intent is to nurture the desire to continue to learn throughout life and foster the capacity to exercise judgement and responsibility in matters of morality, ethics and social justice by all members of the school community. Supporting our purpose are three core values: respect, learning and a sense of community. The school offers a range of programs and structures designed to facilitate student learning, engagement and social responsibility. Children as participants in the 21st century need to understand themselves as learners, learn to work collaboratively, engage in new technologies, learn how to access new skills and knowledge and develop the skills of thinking creatively, laterally and critically. The school's beliefs about learning, pedagogical practice, organisations structures and the physical environment reflect these core principles.

    In 2022 the school community reviewed the school's practices and procedures and outlined a strategic plan to further develop the vision for the school. The vision is implemented through principles of learning which are continually reviewed and developed each year. The current principles are:

  • Children are active, important members of a variety of communities family, school, ethnic cultures, multi-media and friendship groups – their understanding of the world develops through these social and cultural interactions
  • We develop motives to learn through positioning ourselves within social situations
  • We learn through the unity of emotions and intellect
  • We learn through critical engagement in complex, purposeful contexts where relevant connections are made to our world
  • We learn through consciousness of thought where we reconfigure pre-existing understandings and concepts
  • We learn through active participation, the many forms of expression
  • New pedagogical practices are continually evolving to enact these principles through inquiry led research projects which incorporate the Victorian Curriculum. The approach focuses on targeted teaching and learning, individual and small group conferencing, workshops with a focus on provoking thinking and projects and provocations to enact the learning. All aspects of organisation have been reviewed including grouping of staff and students, curriculum content, time management and parent involvement. Children and their team of teachers create a community of learners within a neighbourhood. Parents are active participants in all aspects of the school involved in committees, mentoring children using their areas of expertise such as Artist in Residence Programs and active participants in learning neighbourhoods. Children, parents and teachers are continually involved in active research, developing the evolving vision and practices of the school. The intent is to create an organisation which responds to the curiosity and drive to understand by all the participants. This is a democratic and collaborative process in which the roles of all the participants are transformed, fluid and interchangeable. Curriculum is focused on exploring Big Ideas relevant to the community. Projects begin by exploring the communities' pre-existing understandings, sharing experiences to provoke new possibilities, determining and enacting a research project and sharing findings with the community. Documentation of projects in progress and completed projects is key to making the learning visible to all members of the community. The new and refurbished physical environments are designed to reflect and support the school's principles and practices
