Saint in Paradise Posted 8 December, 2009 Share Posted 8 December, 2009 New name is "Director of first impressions" And there is more Teachers at Remarkables Primary School in Frankton 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," she told the Southland Times. "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". The school has also adopted unconventional names for parts of its campus - teaching spaces are "campfires", meeting places are "watering holes" and small one-on-one areas are "caves". Job titles for Ms Dickson and deputy principal Sarah Graham are still being worked on. http://nz.news.yahoo.com/a/-/mp/6559009/new-school-comes-up-with-eyebrow-raising-job-titles/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
