ARE YOU CALLED AND COMPELLED TO BE A CHANGE LEADER WITHIN THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM IN SOUTH AFRICA?<\/strong><\/p>\n Job Title: <\/strong>Head of Education<\/strong> The reality of the current education crisis is that not all learners in public schools in marginalised communities are receiving the basic education mandated by government and that the inequality gap between the privileged with access to functional schools and those without, is growing. We believe that through a combination of resources from government, private funders and civil society organisations, a collaboration can be created to nurture South African learners to realise their potential.<\/p>\n For the last three years Common Good has had the privilege of being a pioneering school operating partner, mandated by the WCED to partner and strengthen a growing network of non-fee paying collaboration schools (now legislated as such) with the goal to improve learner outcomes and close the inequality gap between high performing resourced and no-fee public schools.<\/p>\n As our network of schools grows, Common Good now seeks to recruit a passionate, strategic, resilient and determined Head of Education who will be a key change agent in driving school improvement in collaboration with School Governing Bodies and School Leadership Teams, supported by 14 Common Good education team members.<\/p>\n PURPOSE AND PRIORITIES<\/strong><\/p>\n VISION AND VALUES<\/strong><\/p>\n STRATEGY\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n SCHOOL LEADERSHIP AND PROGRAMME DEVELOPMENT\/MONITORING\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS:<\/strong><\/p>\n ESSENTIAL SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Your application should comprise:<\/p>\n A cover letter, no longer than three pages, outlining your motivation and relevant experience for the role.
