Change the world - teach
"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change
the world." Nelson Mandela
A career in teaching and education is one of the most challenging and rewarding
roles. What other job gives you the opportunity to inspire and shape the
lives of hundreds of people? Many teachers feel good about their work because
they are doing something worthwhile that makes a difference.
You will like teaching if you are a looking for variety, enjoy a level of
autonomy and want a challenge. Many of the communication and people skills
that make a good teacher are valuable skills that can be applied in many
other jobs too. Unlike most careers, teaching can be adjusted to suit your
own lifestyle.
Teaching roles vary from early childhood, through to senior high school,
college and university lecturers and tutors, special needs teachers, specialist
subject teachers, corporate trainers to curriculum development and school
management. There are increasing opportunities to work overseas in countries
like the United Kingdom, US, Canada and New Zealand where there are a shortage
of teachers. Many people also find employment around the world teaching
English as a second language.
To qualify as a teacher you usually need to complete either a specialist
education degree or a degree in any area and then a diploma of certificate
of education. Each country sets different standards and requirements.
Teaching is often dismissed as a career option because, having been taught
at school, we think we know what being a teacher is but teaching is a valuable
career that provides immense job satisfaction.
