“..Staff at Remarkables Primary School are set to adopt some remarkable job titles when it opens next year.
Teachers will be known as “expedition leaders” ..
.. while the school receptionist will become the “director of first impressions”.
Principal Debbie Dickson said the staff had been given titles that reflected the school philosophy of teaching and learning.
“Through our curriculum the children are going through learning pathways … and as learners there are many pathways –
- the expedition leaders guide them through that learning.
“The director of first impressions is Angela (Murray) ..
.. in the sense that she will greet most of the visitors into the school and so we wanted to give her that title.”
Head teachers Melissa Mitchell-Bain and Grant Hammond are to be “learning community leaders”, and will each oversee a group of four classrooms ..
.. known as a “learning pod”.
Job titles for Ms Dickson and deputy principal Sarah Graham are still being worked on.
It had not been decided whether pupils would address their expedition leaders using traditional honorifics or their first names.
“We need to talk about that as a whole staff. At the present time it is conventional names but it’s something we will discuss further ..
.. as we journey forward.”
(i dunno about you..but that last ‘journey forward’ has me screaming..and running head first into a wall..
and the thing is..that people like this actually talk like this..and are deadly serious about it..
..this never ceases to amaze me..and usually just leaves me at first gape-mouthed..
wit the next instinct being ..’run..!..run for your life..!’..)
