Land Teaching JobsLondon

Supply Agencies Round Up 4

Great Tips

There are proposals to relieve older

teachers of their teaching posts to

help usher in a new era of a more

time-relevant level of literacy. The

problem with such proposals is that

older teachers are described as

licensed teachers above thirty! Seriously, when did thirty-one become so old?

While magazines are describing forty as the new twenty, apparently some

members of the education ministry believe that thirty is somewhat already over

the hill. If youre in your thirties and looking for a teaching job, does this mean

that you will instantly have that much harder time getting one solely because of

your age? Well, this can very well be the case, but if you really want to land

teaching jobs, London teaching supply agencies have come up with 4 superb tips

that will convince employers that youre the perfect choice for the job.

1. Be knowledgeable of the latest teaching methods and principles. Who saysonly fresh graduates know the latest developments reshaping the

foundations of education? You can keep abreast of these new provisions

just by reading or if you want something more thorough, attend education

conferences or seminars, or join forums discussing the breakthroughs of

the literacy world. The key is to prove that youre just as well-informed as

the new breed of teachers who are being considered as the best people to

carry out the thrust of boosting and upgrading literacy of todays students.

2. Hone multiple skills. If you speak other languages like Spanish, French,Italian, German, et cetera, you can well be trained to teach the introduction

course for any of these languages aside from the subject of your specialty.

Also, if you were a former athlete, you can take on a coaching job. A

teacher who can teach several subjects or handle extracurricular activities

are always sought after by schoolstheyre easier to compensate and can

help schools keep overhead low.

3. Look good for your age. Nothing beats creating a good impression bylooking youthful and full of vigour when youre trying to land a job and a

teaching job is no different. Schools are always busy and you need to prove

that youre physically fit to effectively take on the demands of being a

teacher and authority figure.

4. Highlight your teaching experience. Sure, young people have higher levelsof energy and are enthusiastic to prove themselves but nothing compares

to the confidence formed and wisdom behind experience; teaching you the

ropes will be so much easier because youve already been a part of the

system and you know which teaching and disciplinary methods work

because you had already carried them out before. Theres no disputing this

advantage so make sure you present your experience in the most

impressive manner.Click hereto learn more.

Important Values People

Who Hold A Teaching Job

Should Possess

News reports of high school

teachers having sexual

relations with their students

are rampant these days. The

most recent is about a

cheerleader/English teacher

who was actually married

when she started cultivating a

relationship with a student who was only seventeen. The bigger outrage is that

she proudly paraded their relationship after pleading guilty to several charges in

court by walking hand in hand with her teenage boyfriend and actually showing

no sincere remorse. With this news, you cant help but be concerned about the

values young people are learning in school with teachers who get away with such

immoral acts. If youre a parent, you should be able to tell your childrens school

about the values that you want the people who are tasked to mould your children

into responsible contributors to society to have.

In surveys conducted online, participants list the following values that people who

hold a teaching job should have.

1. Empathy There are some who think that empathy is beyond the jobdescription of a teacher, but many parents actually want their childrens

teachers to have empathy. With this value present, parents feel secure

that their children have authority figures who actually care about them and

want to understand them better so they can develop into good people withthe right skills to fare well in life.

2. Accountability Since a lot of teachers nowadays wash their hands cleanwhen it comes to bullying, participants of numerous surveys online state

that teachers should be accountable for many school situations such as

different kinds of violent behaviours that get displayed within the confines

of the school facility. Teachers who not display any sense of accountability,

for parents, are not fit to teach.

3. Patience Everybody used to say that this values only present amongteachers and mothers. Parents always say that teachers who lack patience

should not be allowed to teach because theyre like walking time bombs

that may explode, lose it and actually hurt their students. Since students

have different learning abilities, patience is an important value that ensures

nobody gets left behind in the lessons.

4. Good judgment Right and wrong have become relative these days, andmany of todays teachers are often in the grey areas when it comes to

upholding moral values. This shouldnt be the case as they are called to be

role models as well.

5. Authority In school, teachers should be authority figures and shouldassert their authority to be able to instil the value of obedience in their

students. If they want to appear accessible to their students, its

imperative that they define themselves as older people with authority who

care instead of a typical peer.

These are just five, but surveys show that they are the most important ones

that have the power to bring back the high standards of education and school

life. Find out moreby clicking here.

The Role Of A Teaching Agency

In Raising Education Standards

In The UK

Recent news reveal that tests forpeople who want to become

teachers will become more

rigorous to elevate the quality of

education in the UK. In the last

couple of years many new teachers

have been observed to possess

difficulties in spelling (many suggest the popularity of texting language to be

one of the contributors to this spelling aptitude decline), fundamental math and

analyses. This has created great concern among parents and school

administrations, hence the revamp of testing standards for teaching trainees.

Teaching trainees would be facing more difficult tests in mathematics, English and

reasoning. Theres also a limit to the number of times a trainee can retake the

test which is expected to develop stronger pressure for the trainees to really hone

their knowledge. This developments direct effect on the role a teaching agency

plays in the dynamics of supply and demand of teachers is simple; it would haveto be more thorough in its selection of supply teachers for its clients.

Teaching supply agencies, once this new improvement strategy is implemented in

September of 2013, would be having an easier time determining which

candidates in their line-up of teachers would be most suitable for the job

openings. Also with the aforementioned strategy, they too can elevate their own

operations standards and supply only the best quality teachers to their clients

who have open teaching slots.

Since a lot of teaching professionals seek the assistance of teaching agencies to

find placement in the countrys leading learning institutions, its likely that, to

have a competitive edge over other candidates for teaching posts, teaching

agencies will set more stringent requirements for those who sign up with them.

Another possibility is that these agencies will develop more and better assistance

programs to ensure that the people who sign up with them will have meatier

credentials and will actually pass the upgraded aptitude test. Many teaching

agencies are either affiliated with training groups or develop their own modules

for seminars and trainings for their clients.

Apparently, the pressure is on for those who want a teaching post in schools all

over the country. Many believe, its been a long time coming and this is a really

good tactic thought up by the Department for Education to produce students who

have a solid set of skills and knowledge that would help them fare well in higher

learning pursuits or in the work force of the country. VisitSanza Teachingand find

Tips On How To Practice Your Teaching Profession Even When Theres

No Teaching Vacancy In Schools

If you have been unsuccessful in finding a teaching job in your town and nearby

communities due to fierce competition or iftheres just no teaching vacancy in

any of the schools that you have applied to- do not get disheartened. Firstly, life

always finds the perfect time to open new opportunities; this is a fact of life.

Secondly, you have the power to create opportunities for yourself; all you need to

do is expand your horizons, have creativity and perhaps a sizeable budget to

properly finance a profitable venture.

In expanding your horizons, the key is to make your specialisation the foundation

of your efforts. For example, you studied to become a Language teacher and youhave perfect command of the English language, you may look up ESL programs

provided by your community to immigrants and see if they would have use for

your language skills. Many foreigners who immigrate to the UK have not even had

basic introduction to English and a large chunk of them look out for people who

can patiently help them learn the language. You may sign up for the ESL

programs within your community or offer your services as a private tutor.

Another option you have is to find non-traditional learning institutions. If you just

have a burning passion for teaching, it probably wouldnt matter much to you

where youre teaching. There are special facilities that offer classes to non-

traditional learners. For example, correctional facilities offer classes to inmates

who did not get to finish basic schooling or are completely illiterate. The salary

may not equal to what you would get if you had found placement in a traditional

learning institution but the experience may actually be a higher fulfilment of your

purpose and commitment to education. If a correctional is too daunting a place

for you, there are special institutions for pregnant teens where they get tocontinue their high school education despite their conditions. The important

thing with this particular option is to conduct thorough research about certain

facilities and find out what educational or enrichment programs they have that

would require a teacher.

Third option is to start your own

school. Very few educators have

this dream of putting up their own

school mainly because of the cost of

building one. In countries like

Korea, China and Japan there are

many language academies that

started from just renting a

multipurpose hall; you can do the

same thing. Think as well about

opening a review centre where you

wouldnt really need a big space to

review students for their SATs. If youre an early childhood care and development

specialist, you may open a small day care centre. You dont even need a really big

space (some even began in house parlours) because the maximum number of

children a day care is supposed to accommodate is twelve. Study and take care of

the legal requirements and youll be in business.

With these strategies, you can say, So what if theres no teaching vacancy in

traditional schools? Your teaching career does not have to begin and end in

conventional conditions; the more important thing is you get to serve your lifes

purpose and generate income.

A Collection Of Great Summer Jobs For Teachers

When schools out, a lot of school teachers take summer jobs as well to help

augment their families financial resources or simply to build up on experience. In

the movie, My Girl, Vadas English teacher took on a poetry writing class withstudents of all ages and reasons for being there. The class was nothing too

demanding and was only for about an hour to two hours, but it was a great way

to spend time wisely and profitably.

With the unstable conditions of global economics, many teaching professionals

use the schools summer vacation for other income-generating ventures. If youre

one of them and you wish to turn your break into an opportunity to earn more,

here is a list of cool summerjobs for teachersthat you should consider.

1. Day camp director or counsellor Instead of the stuffy setting of aclassroom, you get to take part in more artistic and athletic programs that

the students learn from and actually enjoy. Should there be a need for any

disciplinary action, you have the advantage of knowing which methods

work in correcting behaviour that would contribute to better character

formation, which is one of the main goals of day camps or summer

enrichment programs.

2. Bookstore clerk This is a logical choice and can be rather advantageous toyou because teachers are usually very well-read and are considered good

communicators. Providing helpful information to customers will definitely

be a breeze for you. Another plus to this job is you can find new reference

materials that you can use for the classes youll teach when school opens.

3. Athletic coach That is, if youre athletic and you have background incompetitive sports. Many school teachers teach kids to swim at the

community pool, tennis at the country club or coach at cheer camp, so ifyou deem yourself athletic enough and have a solid understanding of how

certain sports are physically executed, finding a coaching job over the

summer, wherever it may be, will be easy to snag and you can expect it to

pay well too.

4. Community theatre actor The payis not that great according to actual

actors but the experience is

considered the best benefit of

joining the theatre and

participating in stage plays or

musicales. Theatre-acting is great

for building confidence,

strengthening discipline and

enhancing creativity and these

traits will definitely be

advantageous to any person of

authority who has to impart knowledge to

younger people.

5. Tour guide If youre a history and geography teacher, youll be veryeffective in this type of job because you can educate tourists and provide

accurate information about the places that you visit. The nicest perk of this

job is, tourists give generous tips so if you successfully make the tour

enjoyable and information-packed.
