Program description: |
|
|
Australia has so much to offer with its beautiful scenery, stunning beaches and lively culture. Changing Worlds offers a variety of paid and voluntary placements, each of which will give you a true Aussie experience.
If you want the wide-open spaces of the true outback you can volunteer to be a jackaroo or jillaroo on a sheep or cattle station. Equally we have the opportunity to work as a tutor for small children for those who are aspiring teachers!
Changing Worlds offer the opportunity to work in primary and secondary schools throughout the World.
All volunteers must possess a good and confident level of written and spoken English. This is the one attribute that is called for within all schools where we place people.
You do not need to be a trained teacher – if you are it helps. What we do ask is that applicants have some experience of working with younger people – be it in the brownies, at a sports club or as a school prefect or a head of house. Sadly babysitting younger brothers and sisters is not enough!
This experience will give you a better insight in to what kids are like and how you have to work hard to get the best out of them.
We will share some ideas of good teaching practice before you depart to give you added confidence. We cannot pretend it will be easy because it will not – infact you will have some howlers but the trick is to be able to pick yourself up and go again.
This way you will earn the respect of the students in your care
