  • Observe classes, give actionable feedback, follow up on teacher development.

  • Master's degree with a relevant teaching qualification (B.Ed./M.Ed. preferred).
  • Significant classroom experience plus years in coordination/leadership.
  • Calm, confident judgement with students, parents, and staff.
  • Clear writing for academic plans, reports, and parent communication.

  • Professional development through workshops and internal training.
  • A collaborative staff culture with clear leadership backing.
