Working as a teacher requires plenty of hard work, but all the effort you put in is worth it when you see your students pick up a new skill, understand a difficult concept or graduate with flying colours.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The education sector is also incredibly broad. Being a teacher might mean working with little children or adult learners, and while there is a lot of crossover between different educational professions, there are also some differences.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are passionate about teaching but are still undecided about your exact career goals, this article is for you. Read more to discover more about the Australian education sector and the different pathways available to aspiring educators.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Early childhood education<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Early education in Australia begins at three or four years old, depending on the state or territory. At this age, most children will begin their early childhood education (ECE) in kindergarten, which is also known as preschool.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While there is just one primary teaching role in ECE, namely that of kindergarten teacher, you can work your way up to this position by starting off as an educator. An educator looking to work in a kindergarten must have either a Certificate III in ECE or have completed a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/practicaloutcomes.edu.au\/courses\/diploma-in-childcare\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CHC50121 Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. On the other hand, a kindergarten teacher requires a bachelor\u2019s degree in ECE and registration in the relevant teaching board.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the heart of working as a teacher or an educator in a kindergarten or childcare facility is implementing the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF). The guidelines within the\u00a0 EYLF help educators plan and put in place learning programs with structured and unstructured activities. These provide opportunities for young children to learn more about the world around them and develop their creativity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Primary and secondary teaching<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Primary and secondary education takes place in government schools, private, specialised schools, hospitals and online or long-distance programs. Due to the diversity of options available, it\u2019s best to check if the institution you want to work for has any specific requirements before applying.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because teachers play a vital role in facilitating and inspiring learning and development, standards in this field are incredibly high. All primary and secondary school teachers must have a university degree in teaching or education and must be registered with the teaching board of the state or territory in which they intend to teach.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Primary school<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Primary school teachers need to be adaptable and open-minded as they are expected to teach children between the ages of 5 to 12. The main role of a primary teacher is to formulate and administer a learning program that covers all necessary areas of the curriculum while engaging their students. As a teacher, you might possess the qualifications to teach subjects ranging from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/timesnewsgroup.com.au\/bellarinetimes\/news\/queenscliff-signs-up-to-teach-new-language\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a second language<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to mathematics.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Secondary school<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Secondary school students are generally 13 to 18 years old. Teachers need to specialise in two or more curriculum areas and are responsible for developing, implementing and assessing the relevant learning plan for various year-levels.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Specialist schools<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For teachers who are passionate about a specific area of learning, specialist schools are the ideal career path. Some schools specialise in a particular curriculum area, such as performing arts, sports or a specific language. There are also educational institutions that cater to students with special needs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aspiring teachers looking to work in special schools need the skills and qualifications to work in a specific field. Research the specific area you\u2019re looking to work in before applying for a position at a special school.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leadership positions<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Career progression in school settings is fairly straightforward. Experienced teachers can apply to positions that oversee curriculum implementation and assessment, monitor and modify teaching practices or support student wellbeing and engagement. Such roles include year level leader, leading teacher, learning specialist and assistant principal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a primary or secondary education setting, the most senior position is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourcareer.gov.au\/occupations\/134311\/school-principal\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">that of principal<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0 After teaching for two or more years, a teacher can technically apply for a principal role but normally require significantly more teaching and leadership experience to be accepted.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vocational and university education<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teaching isn\u2019t limited to school settings. Vocational education and training (VET) colleges and universities provide <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jobsandskills.gov.au\/data\/labour-market-insights\/industries\/education-and-training#occupations-1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">career opportunities<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in a variety of roles. Lecturers, tutors and mentors are examples of student-facing jobs that require a high level of tertiary education and\/or experience in the relevant field.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">VET<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">VET, or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/timesnewsgroup.com.au\/ballarat\/living\/embark-on-a-fulfilling-career-as-a-tafe-teacher\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Technical and Further Education (TAFE)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, involves training students in a practical skill. To teach in a VET institute, a high level of skill in a particular industry and a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment are the minimum requirements. Typically, you\u2019ll need a comprehensive knowledge of and passion for your trade, which you can gain through years of industry work. VET courses include agriculture, nursing, beauty and aged care.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">University<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teaching at universities is done by lecturers and tutors. Lecturers generally possess a PhD in a particular area of a broader field. Tutors are typically PhD candidates or PhD-holders themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lecturers are responsible for creating a unit of work, teaching it, developing tutorial sessions and assessing students against the established criteria. Tutors lead tutorials and may assist with assessment grading.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Careers outside of traditional education settings<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Graduate and experienced teachers have job opportunities outside of the ECE, school and higher education environments. Positions in government, consultancy and business are readily available, as are jobs as a private tutor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember, you\u2019re not limited to using your teaching skills only in Australia. Working or volunteering overseas either as an English language teacher or as a teacher of another subject is a great way to broaden your horizons.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">~<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While there are many qualifications you need to possess to become a teacher, the main requirements are drive and a passion to share your knowledge. Before becoming an educator, you first need to figure out whether or not you truly love teaching.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve decided to work as a teacher, use the information we\u2019ve provided in this article to determine the qualifications you need for a particular career pathway.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong>\/\/SPONSORED CONTENT<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Being an educator can be both rewarding and uplifting.
