Leading teachers will be highly skilled classroom practitioners and undertake leadership and management roles commensurate with their salary range. The role of leading teachers is to improve the skill, knowledge and performance of the teaching workforce in a school or group of schools and to improve the curriculum program of a school.
Typically, leading teachers are responsible for coordinating a number of staff to achieve improvements in teaching and learning which may involve the coordination and professional support of colleagues through modelling, collaborating and coaching and using processes that develop knowledge, practice and professional engagement in others.
Leading teachers are expected to lead and manage a significant area or function within the school with a high degree of independence to ensure the effective development, provision and evaluation of the school's education program.
Leading teachers will be expected to make a significant contribution to policy development relating to teaching and learning in the school. A leading teacher has a direct impact and influence on the achievement of the school goals.
Leading teachers are usually responsible for the implementation of one or more priorities contained in the school strategic plan.
In recognition of the importance of leadership and management combined with exemplary teaching practice for improved student learning outcomes, the key roles of the leading teachers may include but are not limited to:

Hallam Senior Secondary College is located in Hallam on the lands of the Bunurong and learning communities have flourished on this land for more than 30,000 years. The current College has been on this site since 1971 and is going through exciting change.
Over the next 4 years;
Over the next 5 years the new school will benefit from significant investment by the Victorian State Government. Our aim is to create a school that is;
We will be a medium sized College serving a culturally and ethnically diverse community. Our size will enable us to know every student and offer a range of programs that are more commonly found in a large school.
Our Vision – the why
At HSSC we empower all students to become capable, caring and confident individuals and active and informed citizen.
Mission – the what
At HSSC we ensure the delivery of a comprehensive high quality education program so that all students
i) acquire the knowledge, skills and capabilities they need including those defined by the Victorian Curriculum and senior secondary pathways, and
ii) develop the capabilities necessary to thrive, contribute and respond positively to the challenges and opportunities of life
Values
At HSSC we value Achievement, Care and Equity.
The Hallam Learning Compass
Our Vision, Mission and Values are translated into action through the Hallam Learning Compass.
The HSSC Learning Compass uses the metaphor of the “learning compass” to show the types of competencies students need to successfully navigate towards the future we want, individually and collectively.
Just as a compass orients a traveller, the Learning Compass indicates the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values students need not just to weather the changes in our environment and in our daily lives, but to help shape the future we want. We have a rigorous focus on;
Attitudes and Values - the principles and beliefs that influence one’s choices, judgements, behaviours and actions on the path towards individual, societal and environmental well-being
Core Foundations
• cognitive foundations, which include literacy and numeracy, upon which digital literacy and data literacy can be built
• health foundations, including physical and mental health, and well-being
• social and emotional foundations, including moral and ethics
Skills - cognitive and metacognitive skills; social and emotional skills; and practical and physical skills
Student Agency - the capacity to set a goal, reflect and act responsibly to effect change
Wellbeing – collective wellbeing (connected to community)
Transformative competencies - creating new value, reconciling tensions and dilemmas, and taking responsibility
Knowledge - disciplinary, interdisciplinary, epistemic & procedural
Our curriculum programs privilege Literacy, Numeracy and health. Our curriculum structure is aligned with our Vision and Mission and has an unswerving focus learning skills underpinned by the Victorian Curriculum in Years 7 to 10. Our Senior students are able to access a wide range of VCE and Applied Learning Programs including University enrichment courses and HeadStart as part of a three year pathway to success.
The College has three Centres of Excellence that enrich and extend the curriculum. These are;
Students in the Junior Years will have access to the Centres of Excellence and can enrol in the programs for their Senior Pathway.
Our Senior students are able to access the Hallam Valley Trade training Centre which provides a wide range of applied learning courses on site.
Our evidence-based approach to learning and teaching is informed by the work of John Hattie, Dylan Wiliams and Richard Elmore, and a close working relationship with faculty members of the Melbourne University Graduate School of Education and Monash University Faculty of Education. Our balanced pedagogical approach draws on Hattie and Donoghue’s Model of Learning, the OECD Learning Compass 2030, and the Universal Design for Learning framework.
The professional growth of staff is facilitated through Professional Learning Communities, Professional Growth Teams and Professional Learning Sessions. These platforms accelerate the development of contemporary pedagogy through the use of collaboration, mentoring, observation and feedback, including from colleagues and students, by incorporating these practices into the core role of teachers and creating the conditions to enable teachers to engage in them.
Our work with students is framed by the Response to Intervention model. The College delivers intervention and extension classes in English and Mathematics for students who require Tier 2 and 3 support. Additional Tier 2 supports include a range of performance and arts-based programs, and programs that support diversity and inclusion.
The College is committed to developing happy, healthy and resilient learners and we have invested significantly in allied health expertise and a range of specialist intervention programs underpinned by the Berry Street Education Model, Rights, Resilience and Respectful Relationships and School Wide Positive Behaviour Support practices.
