Welsh-Medium Conversion Programme

Welsh-Medium Conversion Programme

Welsh Government
Several jobs are available for primary teachers with an interest in converting to the secondary sector as part of the Welsh Government’s Welsh-Medium Conversion Programme (Cynllun Pontio). The programme aims to increase the number of Welsh-medium secondary school teachers. As part of the programme, you would join an education team in a secondary school for a year and receive support while teaching within the secondary sector. We welcome application from enthusiastic and bold primary teachers who have an interest in expanding their experience in a secondary school. We also welcome applications from primary and secondary teachers who wish to return to teach in Welsh in Wales, and teachers who are returning to the profession after 5 years or more.

The programme offers a year of employment in a school to observe and teach in a specialist subject or across specialist subjects. You will receive support to successfully convert to teaching in the secondary sector. There will be a particular focus on the following themes:
• lesson planning techniques
• assessments, marking and feedback
• classroom management
• developing resilience
• linguistic support: based on individual need

Individuals will have access to a professional support teacher within the school, who will be responsible for holding a professional dialogue to support them. Your timetable will include time to plan, research and observe as well as the teaching timetable.
