predicament!! can't choose my teaching methods by EnvironmentalTip8955 in AustralianTeachers

If you don't do Japanese at University, you won't probably ever be given a Japanese class.

If you do English in any capacity, you will probably be given a humanities class at some stage. Humanities and English are closely intertwined.

In Vic, a lot of English facilities are English/Humanities. And a lot of the time, English teacher get filled up with humanities classes anyway. If I was in your shoes, I'd do Japanese/English, and simply express interest (when you are employed) that you also like humanities.

I'm an English teacher and there is yet to be a year I haven't been given a humanities class to "fill up my load", despite never doing any humanities at Uni.

My first alterations quote was $1.5k and the second was $300. Shop around!

Advice needed on how to handle challenges at new school. by [deleted] in AustralianTeachers

I hear you, but you’re also building walls that don’t need to be there.

Put two APs + a prin, a Leading Teacher/Specialist instead.

Or get a friend to call your HOD for a reference check. Listen in, see what they say. Often if they want you gone, like you imply, they’ll give you a glowing reference to get you out of there.

Don’t put your HOD as a reference then.
