Re: Grad Dip (Primary) starting out

That's interesting to hear, I was curious how remote/country would be viewed.

As to student behaviour, I have a thick skin and am not expecting it to be easy.

Forewarned is forearmed.

Cheers

Re: Grad Dip (Primary) starting out

Thanks for your detailed info, much appreciated.

The plan at the moment is to cast the net wide and see what happens.

If a a suitable IT position does not eventuate, I'll cut my teeth in Aus or the UK.

Cheers

Re: Grad Dip (Primary) starting out

Hey Psy

Thanks for the response. This is a fruitful forum.

Just to confirm the acronyms:

DS - Domestic School

IE - International Education

Is an intern position similar to a teaching assistant? is this a common route to become an IT?

Cheers

Re: Grad Dip (Primary) starting out

Hey Sci

I have heard 2nd hand that UK can be quite rough in parts. As you said the younger kids should be more manageable.


Cheers for the advice

Re: Grad Dip (Primary) starting out

Hey Van

Yeah unless I get lucky I'll do my time in Australia or UK.

Even one year in Australia means I can get my full teaching licence.

Thanks for the input, appreciate it.

Re: Grad Dip (Primary) starting out

Hey Shad

Thanks for the honest advice.

Just following that up, my more concrete options appear to be country WA or UK.

I take it you would reccommend UK, however, do you have any idea how country/remote service is viewed in an international context?

Cheers

Grad Dip (Primary) starting out

G'day

I'm about to finish my Grad Dip at the end of this year and am looking for advice on starting out as an IT.

Looking to start out in IB PYP and am will to go anywhere. A preference for Asia over ME.

Classroom experience is limited to student teaching.

So basically any advice on achieving my first role in IT would be welcome.

Thanks for replies in advance.
