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.
We can also now offer paid placements working in a school in Melbourne in Victoria state. This would be the perfect placement for those who enjoy outdoor education.
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.
You will be welcomed by the school and will have the opportunity to observe classes before you take up the role. The local teachers will provide you with help and ideas particularly in those early weeks.
Nobody is placed in a school on their own so you will be able to share good teaching ideas and strategies with one another.
If you are in to sport, drama, music or art then your skills in these areas will be well received. Overworked teachers in the schools may not have time to add extra curricular activities to the school day but see this an opportunity to get involved with the children. It will make a massive difference to them and to you!
