Teaching in SA

[Adelaide_bound]

Hi, definetly no eggs been sucked here. I am really confused and disappointed by the hoops it seems I have got to jump through to teach over here. I never thought it would be easy, but I am hearing things like one or two year courses, $$$$$ in fees.

Thanks for link and advise.

Did you do the GTP in the UK then? If not, what path did you take?

If it makes you feel any better - I know of several Aussie teachers in the UK who have gone to uni in Oz, taught very successfully in Oz for many years, and cannot register in the UK because they don't have.....Maths GCSE (not accepting the fact that Oz don't do GCSEs) The hoops coming back this way are far worse - its just the UK has an education system that lies about courses and qualifications (just look at the Level 2 courses situation) - imho they should make it very clear when taking up a place on a GTP course that its only recognised in England and Wales, a complete con (cue massive political rant here usually, but I'm far too knackered at the mo lol)..

Does SA have an equivalent to the Graduate Teaching Programme (Fast track)? I teach in FE here in the UK and would like to get into schools when we come to SA. Do i do the year here before i come? will it be recognised in SA if i do? I teach both Maths and English here to post 16 and have subject specialisms in both areas. Don't know whether the latter would be recognised in SA though.

Any advice guys?

I don't know if this will help Heather - http://www.decd.sa.gov.au/hr/pages/j...chervacancies/ - http://www.teachinginsa.sa.edu.au/pa...me/university/ - I do remember that there were a few ads in the paper which were looking at graduates in particular disciplines (eg science) who were being offered short courses to qualify them to teach, mainly in the secondary area I think, but again I don't know the status or of it would be of any use to you.
