The Role
As a teacher at the FLDC, you will work as part of a dynamic, multi-disciplinary team that includes speech and language officers/ specialists and education assistants. Together, you will develop and deliver high-quality, evidence-based programs aligned to the Western Australian Curriculum, with a strong focus on supporting students with language learning difficulties.
You should be committed to developing, specialist knowledge in language development and its impact on students' academic achievement, communication, and social-emotional wellbeing. Your teaching should reflect a deep understanding of effective, evidence-based instructional practices grounded in cognitive science. This includes aligning your practice with the school's whole-school instructional model and incorporating high-impact teaching strategies such as explicit instruction, gradual release of responsibility, and scaffolded learning.
The ability to differentiate learning to meet the diverse needs of students is important, as is creating a supportive and engaging classroom environment. Experience with evidence-based programs such as InitiaLit and Talk for Writing is desirable.
Strong classroom management and a proactive, positive approach to behaviour support are important for engaging students and fostering a safe, inclusive learning space.
The ability to collaborate effectively with mainstream staff at our co-located campuses is important for providing an inclusive and supportive learning environment for all students. Building strong professional relationships and sharing expertise helps ensure continuity of support and reinforces our shared commitment to student success.
Suitable applicants should have a collaborative mindset and a strong commitment to whole-school initiatives and practices. They will ideally be reflective, adaptable, and enthusiastic educators who actively participate in ongoing professional learning to stay informed of current research and best practice in the field of language development and instruction.
