BALTIMORE CITY AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER

Behaviour at OrielBeing Curious: Not furious
Oriel aims to create a high support: high expectation environment where each child’s individual needs are met so that they can meet our high expectations.
Our expectations of students focus around our six Learning Behaviours: considerate, motivated, resilient, organised, collaborative, accountable.
We centre ourselves around a therapeutic approach to behaviour management recognising that adults can adapt their approach to ensure that students display pro-social behaviours. Where students display unsocial or anti-social behaviours, we know that sanctions alone do not result in positive changes to behaviour and that taking the time to reflect and repair upon poor choices is more likely to result in pro-social choices.
Fundamentally, we believe that when students feel pro-social, they will make pro-social choices preparing them to be functioning members of the community we are all a part of. Our job as teachers is to make sure they feel pro-social more often.We are looking to appoint someone who…...Is an excellent teacher with the ability to support, encourage, enthuse and engage learners,
Has experience of supporting students with ‘challenging’ behaviour.
Has experience of working intensively with families.
Can lead staff and think strategically.
Can be an expert on a variety of behavioural approaches including therapeutic.
Oriel actively encourages CPD throughout the school with a comprehensive program for teachers at all stages of their careers. We would welcome applications from suitably qualified teachers who are looking to further their skills, experience or qualifications.
