Please find attached details of current secondment opportunities that we have available for Teacher Fellows in The Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Stirling.
A key feature in the success of the Stirling Initial Teacher Education programme is the support that we receive from our partnership schools and Teacher Fellows. Teacher Fellows are teachers from schools in Scotland, normally seconded to work with our students for one day a week (it is also possible to directly employ teachers, who are on part time school contracts). They work alongside University Tutors and play a significant role in the leadership of our programme.
Our experience of the Teacher Fellow scheme is that it is mutually beneficial to both schools and the university. The university and the students benefit from the experience and support of the seconded teachers. Schools and teachers likewise benefit from the experience of supporting students and working with tutors, CPD opportunities, and the chance to attend national events that are not always open to classroom teachers. In the current post-Donaldson climate, where partnership is increasingly important to us all, the Teacher Fellow scheme offers significant opportunities to develop creative and innovative responses to Curriculum for Excellence.
The University will reimburse the seconding School/Local Authority at an indicative rate of £198.19 (2017 rates under review) per day for the release of a non-promoted teacher and £218.19 (2017 rates under review) per day for a promoted teacher.
This opportunity is also open to part time teaching staff who will be reimbursed at the current University of Stirling grade 8 Lecturer rate.
Please feel free to get in touch should you wish to discuss further any of the attached details.
