Primary School Teaching; where do I start?

We Answered:

You need to enquire about doing a P.G.C.E. course, post grad cert of education. Contact your chosen uni. You will do about three primary placements I think and the course lasts one year.

Leon Said:

What University Is A Good One To Go To For Primary School Teaching?

We Answered:

i'm in the U.S. - but I would imagine that there are review and such of your schools online.

On a side note... i don't know about England... but teachers in the U.S. are not well-paid, and almost no one wants to be a teacher. So, make sure you do the research.

Marsha Said:

Is it worth it to head for a career in teaching primary school classes?

We Answered:

It is important that you have an interest or a passion to become a primary school teacher, if not then i think its not worth it. You can only progress in your job if you have an interest otherwise you will be gutted that you ever took on the job.

What are the prerequisites for primary school teaching in Australia?

We Answered:

To become a primary teacher you usually have to study primary school teaching or education at university. Alternatively, you can undertake a postgraduate qualification specialising in primary education after completing a degree with relevant study areas.

To get into these courses you usually need to pass your TEE. Prerequisite subjects, or assumed knowledge, in one or more of English and mathematics are normally required. Entry to postgraduate courses usually requires a relevant bachelor degree. The various universities have different prerequisites and some have flexible entry requirements.
