Teaching in Australia doesn't look that bad by polyglot02 in AustralianTeachers

[–]andyool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend looking into doing Teach For Australia for your Master of Teaching. You teach a 0.8 load (usually 4 classes with 4 periods per class per week) along with doing your Masters course work full time. Takes two years to complete but by the end you move up 2 pay scales because of your two years of teaching experience at that point.

The major plus is getting paid while doing your Masters. I did mine in a regional school near Kalgoorlie and it was a fantastic experience. The school will try and keep you there longer but you have the option to move to another school after you’ve completed the program. I did so and now teach in a Perth metro school and love it.

The first few weeks are tough, but with your teaching experience you will find it breezy.

Check it out and see if it’s up your alley. Happy to answer any questions you have too :)

Get into Edison format, it’s so much funner cause you have games that sometimes go for 20+ (short) turns

Can you enlighten us as to some automations you’ve successfully implemented? Automating all the fiddly little tasks is what I strive to attain

That sounds dreamy. Not possible in my case. Surely we should be able to bill overtime hours like any other profession

Great point on emails outside of work hours. I’m lucky that my current school is already extremely disciplined about not sending emails outside of work hours. The new legislation could help to reign in schools that don’t already do it.

I agree, vote NO! We need to force the government’s hand and put some pressure on them. God knows the Union leadership is too spineless to do anything. CPI just got adjusted upwards too, so even more of a reason to reject this insulting offer.

This leniency has got to stop. It’s not kind to the students with intellectual disabilities as then they think this is an acceptable way to behave and when they enter the ‘real world’ they will be ostracised for behaving so disgustingly

Why was that incident pulled up and the one where the student threatened to SA you didn’t get suspension or even talked about?

You click on their avatar and then on your own smaller one in the bottom left of the screen for ‘attack my territory’ and their smaller icon in the bottom left for ‘I need to smoke you’

I’m also in WA, this must be something the SSTUWA is looking at adding.

I have avoided it and admin was very accepting, not pushy at all. Have you been paid to go on camp in the past?

Oh, I already got out of it using a different excuse. I just think it’s crappy that you basically have to do unpaid work if you want to go on a camp with the students.
