  • Deliver replacement classes at other times on other days in response to scheduling difficulties.
  • Spend non-teaching hours preparing teaching materials, marking homework, carrying out administration, attending meetings or fulfilling any other duties associated with the role.
  • Assist with an observation evening provided for the class (weekday evening).
  • Ensure all course materials, including course specifications, lesson plans, PowerPoint presentations and student hand-outs, are up-to-date and backed up on Microsoft Classroom where students and the second GCSE Astronomy Teacher can access it whether they are working from home or onsite.
  • Ensure all student e-mail communication is confidential in compliance with GDPR.
  • Liaise with your line manager or the Learning Operations Officer to communicate any needs you might have for the upcoming weekend.
  • Attend meetings with your line manager to discuss issues related to the course, personal appraisals, and administration.
