• Assist in the design and delivery of workshops and professional development sessions for schools and stakeholders.
• Assist the Senior Director with the implementation of the MTSS pilot in ACT public schools.
• Prepare high-quality reports, briefs, ministerial correspondence and policy documents that support the implementation of MTSS.
• Support the drafting of an MTSS implementation guide to be shared with schools before phased implementation begins in 2027.
• Consistently model and demonstrate the principles of the ACTPS Respect, Equity and Diversity (RED) Framework 2010 and ACTPS Code of Conduct 2012 and lead safe work practices that are in accordance with the Directorate’s Cultural Integrity and Health, Safety and Wellbeing Safety Management System Framework.
