A document outlining the responsibilities, qualifications, and expectations for an educator taking on a leadership role within a school or educational institution. This role typically involves mentoring other teachers, developing curriculum, implementing new educational strategies, and acting as a liaison between teachers, administrators, and parents. An example would be a school posting a notice detailing the expectations for someone who oversees the kindergarten curriculum and mentors new kindergarten teachers.
Such documentation provides clarity and structure, ensuring that individuals understand their duties and how their performance will be evaluated. It also serves as a recruitment tool, attracting qualified candidates by clearly defining the opportunity. Historically, formalized versions evolved as schools became more complex organizations requiring distributed leadership beyond the principal’s office. Well-defined roles improve communication, coordination, and ultimately, the quality of instruction.
