A Lead Teacher oversees the educational activities within a classroom or educational facility, ensuring that students receive high-quality instruction and support. You might work in a primary or secondary school, or another educational setting. Lead Teachers develop and implement curricula, assess student progress, and provide guidance and support to fellow educators. You’ll create a positive learning environment that fosters student engagement and achievement, and you’ll mentor and support junior staff to enhance overall teaching effectiveness.
Lead Teachers play a crucial role in shaping students' educational experiences. You’ll need to be organised, communicative, and adaptable, with strong leadership skills. You'll collaborate with colleagues, families, and school management to ensure students’ educational needs are met effectively.
