Teaching Jobs in Australia

The job of a teacher requires a balance between people skills (with plenty of good communication and patience skills) and knowledge of your teaching field. Most teaching jobs involve a fair deal of student teaching or lecturing, which normally takes place during mornings until early afternoon. For tertiary education, teaching jobs can extend to full days and even after-hours. School teacher may be involved in sport, arts or culture activities. Teaching jobs also involves a fair deal of administration and paperwork, and this can include evaluating class progress, monitoring student progress, and preparing class and tutoring material. A teaching assistant is usually more involved with preparing tutoring material while the head teacher is involved with curriculum planning and teachers meetings.
