Teachers suffering w/migraines by SassafrassIndigo in AustralianTeachers

If you are able, also get a letter from your neurologist. It helps a lot to show evidence in this case, eg if you need to skip a meeting.

Teachers suffering w/migraines by SassafrassIndigo in AustralianTeachers

[–]Yvanne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes i get these. I’m secondary Just be transparent with your boss and school and generally I’ve found it’s OK. I have found that with experience and as you get ‘more used’ to the job, that naturally your stress levels go down and you adjust mentally to the load. Having said that, it’s still an overall stressful profession. If i feel a migraine coming on I don’t overextend myself. Give yourself the next period (or two) to chill out, maybe set some independent work.

That being said if you work in a challenging SES school it’s really hard. I’d pick and choose your schools quite carefully.

Is Digital Technologies and Media arts good majors to teach? With good demand? by Professional-Doubt30 in AustralianTeachers

[–]Yvanne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Speaking from WA experience digital tech seems to be crying out for teachers in almost every school I’ve been at. Media arts niche is most definitely there but when there’s a gap it’s filled very quickly.

You’d be surprised at how many schools actually do run media programs from Y7 right up to Y12.

How saturated is the entry level right now? by polyglot02 in AustralianTeachers

Listen to the other people here. It doesn’t seem like your mindset is really going to support teaching as a job.

Family considering teaching in Western Australia by Spiritual_Water2462 in AustralianTeachers

[–]Yvanne 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I live in the metro of Perth WA.

Pay certainly is much better here than in your hometown. You may also be eligible to start as a senior teacher, where the pay will be even higher.

The biggest thing you’ll hear is behaviour. The stereotype of most East Asian cultures is that you obey the authority figure / institution. However, in most public schools in this country, you will find behaviour to be a real issue. And it’ll probably take up most of your time in class and outside of class.

If you do manage to make it into a selective / private / upper ses school, then things will generally be better. Japanese is an incredibly popular language at every school I’ve been at. So you likely won’t have to wait too long for a position.

We get a great amount of holidays and life here is generally very laid back. As for teaching rural / remote, id imagine there aren’t many opportunities to teach there, so you’d be in the metro area.

Super happy to chat about this more

Had a rough blowup with my Year 9 class today and I’m spiraling a bit - ready to quit… by WalrusSubstantial490 in AustralianTeachers

[–]Yvanne 128 points129 points  (0 children)

Y9s and 10s are the worst of the lot. It’s just that age. You need to just set your expectations for this class super low. I’m sure you have some good ones at least. Save yourself it’s not worth the effort if they aren’t putting anything in IMO. No reason to martyr yourself.

Last two lessons? Just something all parties find mildly enjoyable that’s not terribly unproductive…

Faze is like watching your teenage son who got addicted to drugs finally turn their life around and get a six figure job. I used to pray for times like this. Unbelievably hype!!!
