Looking For Teaching
Jobs? London Agencies
Provide Meaningful
Careers In Education
There are various reasons why some
people become teachers. Some claim
that they followed such a path because
of a desire to impart something of
substance to future generations. Some state that the fulfilment that comes with
helping people realise their potential is more satisfying than any financial rewards
that come with a regular job. Others, on the other hand, become teachers notbecause of some selfless inspiration to help the younger generations; they simply
just fell into the job on their way to something else, except that instead of
pursuing their previous dreams, they decided to stay.
There are different stories behind a teachers journey to his current profession;
however, the things that make them stay are all the same. If you happen to be
someone who is currently looking forteaching jobs, Londonagencies can provide
you with a large number of options to choose from. Once you try working as an
educator, chances are youll be appreciating your job for the same reasons thatteachers before have cherished it.
One of the top reasons teaching is such a compelling job is the intangible rewards
that come with it. You will get a regular salary like most regular workers, but
instead of hot-headed bosses who demand every single minute of your life to be
dedicated to work, you will be working with children and young adults all striving
to be something. Of course, not all students have much-loved qualities like
eagerness and a love for learning, but even the difficult ones pose a challenge to
you as an educator. As such, this makes your work a dynamic and energisingeffort, which is the second reason why teaching provides such a great career. You
will have new students year after year, and you will meet new personalities all the
time, from class clowns, to quiet little nerds, to stubborn gothic kids who pretend
to be all tough, to popular personalities who rule the school. Of course, not all

children fit into these categories, and every once in a while, youll find a perfectly
sensible kid whose life only needs a little encouragement from an inspired and
inspiring educator, which is hopefully you.
While most teachers do relish the immaterial rewards that come with teaching,the tangible compensations of this profession cannot be ignored. For one, you will
always have security in your job, since the world will always need teachers. Your
schedule is also not as heavy, since you can expect to be at school at a certain
time and you will also have the weekends off. In addition, you are guaranteed two
months of vacation every year, which is something substantial compared to the
two-week vacations that most regular jobs are allowed to have.
So if you are planning on a career in education, check out your local listings for
teaching jobs. Londonagencies can also provide you with so many options, so you
can start on a career that is not only meaningful, but also highly rewarding.

Teaching Assistants Provide Valuable Educational
Service
Almost everyone is familiar with the work of a teacher, and this is brought about
by personal experience in a classroom setting. However, there are certain
individuals in the educational setting who make learning a more streamlined
process for both teachers and
students. These people are teaching
assistants.
Also known as classroom assistants or
learning support assistants, TAs are
people who work alongside a teacherin a primary or secondary school.
They are responsible for carrying out
tasks that will allow the teacher to
concentrate his efforts on teaching, such as preparing the classroom for a
particular session (like setting up experiment materials for a science lab class), as
well as cleaning up after lessons, or putting childrens work up for display.
Teaching assistants can also help teachers in other undertakings outside of the
classroom. For instance, they can help plan the specifics for outdoor events likeschool outings and school sports competitions. They can also help carry out duties
related to these events, like planning trip itineraries and setting up the venue for
events. In addition, whenever one child encounters some problems during these
trips, the TA can attend to that child, allowing the teacher to focus on the rest of
the class.
Teaching assistants who are working with older children are sometimes given the
task of helping pupils with difficulties or a learning disability. They may also have
some special skills that are essential in a particular class. For example, knowledgein another language may be very helpful in cases of pupils who have yet to learn
the local language.
The responsibilities of a teaching assistant may be many, but the rewards and
perks of this profession are also just as numerous. TAs who are planning on a

career in teaching can use their prior experience as a stepping stone towards that
profession. Their prior experience will give them a better gauge of their future
job, and even help them decide whether this is the career they really want to
pursue or not.
Parents who are looking for a job that allows them to be near their children can
also benefit from taking on a teaching assistant position at the school their child
goes to. This is a highly doable job for most parents, since a teaching assistants
schedule is very flexible. You dont have to come very early or stay after the bell
rings, as most teachers do. Full and part-time positions are also available, and you
only have work during the school term. Because of this schedule, you are
guaranteed a two-month vacation every year that perfectly coincides with your
own childrens vacation. Working as a teaching assistant lets parents stay close to
and spend time with their kids year round.
You might not have noticed it, but teaching assistantshave made the classroom
experience more organised for both teachers and students. If you want to make
an impact on the educational experience of todays generation, working as a TA
can be a good first step in that direction.

How To Find Teaching Jobs In
The Current Career Market
Since time immemorial, there has always
been an urgent, high demand for outstanding
teachers. From Aristotle who said that
teaching is the highest form of
understanding, to Mr. Keating in the movie
Dead Poets Society who urged his students
to seize the day teachers will be always a
moving force in history.
Today, the importance placed on getting a
world-class education may mean there are
more jobs for teachers worldwide, but it also means there will be a harder job
search process because the standards for getting in have been raised. If you think
youre ready for the fulfillment as well as the priceless rewards of being a
teacher, then you need to raise your hand higher in order tofind teaching jobsin
the current career market.
As with any other job search, perfect timing is important to land the right joboffer. With teaching, your application process must be aligned with the academic
year of the location youre interested in. It is ideal for schools to have selected,
trained, and oriented new teachers a few months before the school year starts.
Be informed about the school district calendar to identify the prime months for
job hunting.
Make sure your application is backed up with impressive qualifications. Youll be
asked for basic requirements such as licenses, basic skills tests results, board
exams and national certifications. The minimum criteria will again depend on theschools governing district or country, but a good rule of thumb is to submit more
than what is required. You may want to zoom in on an area of expertise to help
schools determine the right post for you. For instance, a masters degree or
additional certification in specialised education fields such as ESL, special

education or sports can help you find teaching jobs in your choice academic
program.
While paperwork such as diplomas and certifications is important, the
interviewing schools will also put yourpractical know-how to test. As a teacher,
the reach of your responsibilities will be
beyond the four walls of the classroom. If
youre new to the profession, prepare to
juggle tasks beyond presenting todays
lessons such as designing classroom
layout, reporting to your superiors,
meeting with parents, or supervising
students in extra-curricular activities. Be inthe know about innovative teaching
approaches and frameworks to help you
adapt to current teaching realities, such as
overcrowding in public schools, academic
culture in other countries, and the like.
Compared to other fields, the teaching
profession requires a lot of emotional
investment. The time you spend withstudents everyday may be longer than
their interaction with other people, including their friends and fami lies. Youll be
facing expectations set by the principal, schools, parents and your peers. How to
find teaching jobs and keep the position is not for the faint of heart. As you
navigate the school or university youll be teaching in, be ready to learn lessons
yourself along the way.

How To Prepare For High School Teaching Jobs Abroad
With the rise of emerging economies such as China, South Korea and the Middle
East, the push of getting a world-class education and a good command of Englishhas never been this strong. As the
student population grows and its
diversity expands, the demand for
more competent teachers is now felt
in the worldwide job market. This
need is even greater in high school,
as this academic level is seen by most
parents as formative years in
preparing for university studies.
For those looking for a career in
education, this development provides
attractive job opportunities for both new and experienced teachers. Applying for
high school teaching jobs abroad can provide greater chances of entering the
academe, and offers a great chance to enrich their teaching experience. The
enjoyment of learning about a new place and culture is also an attractive factor,
especially for fresh graduates eager to see the world.
If youre a teacher planning to enter into an overseas job, youll find teacher-
friendly locations that offer decent salaries which can do well with their relatively
low cost of living. Other countries and job agencies offer benefits such as airfare
and housing allowance for foreign teachers. Aside from a full-time teaching post,
you could also earn on the side with teaching-related jobs, such as being paid
hourly as a private tutor or teaching English online.
Before submitting your resume and letter of application, make sure to collect all
relevant information about your chosen location. Visit their government websiteon education to know more about their educational policies and programs. Make
sure you have all the basic qualifications, licenses and credentials. See if you can
exceed the minimum requirements with additional training or a non-credit
course.

Aside from application requirements, an important consideration is to get to
know about the culture and way of life in your potential host country. The best
way is to plan a visit yourself, if you can afford the trip. Another way is to
generate information straight from friends or colleagues who may have
experienced working in that particular place. If an area has a huge number offoreign teachers, you may be able to find a website or online forum dedicated to
teachers. You can read tips and advice on how to make your application generate
more interest, and know more about the teaching life from the others
experiences.
While waiting for responses from the highschool teaching jobsyouve applied for,
why not start teaching right now? You dont have to land a job to generate
experience as a teacher. Find volunteer work, facilitate workshops, or work as a
museum guide. After all, a true teacher shares knowledge where its needed orwanted no classroom required.

Part-time Teaching Jobs: For Newbies And Experienced
Educators
The role of part-time teachers in education has
radically shifted because of the increase in the
student population, whose profile is becoming
more diversified each academic year. Take a peek
inside classrooms today, and youll see students of
varying ages, social statuses, and nationalites
seated side by side, unlike a few years ago when
there was once a single stereotype for every
school and academic level. Employing part-time
teachers is seen as an effective solution to the
demand for more quality teachers.
Today, part-time teaching jobs are not only
considered as transition positions, but can be long-
term solutions for higher standards of learning.
Whether youre a new graduate aiming for a teaching post or a tenured professor
wanting to enhance your skills, a part-time position can be a way to gain more
opportunities in learning and for your career.
Are you a new graduate? A part-time teaching job can be your first step towards a
long-term academic position. Many fresh grads are often faced with the chicken-
and-egg situation: when applying for a job, employers will say they prefer
someone with experience. But how could you have experience if you cant put a
foot in the door due to inexperience? Applying as a part-time tutor, summer
school teacher, or teaching staff assistant is a great way to put into practice what
youve learned in school. Likewise, part-time volunteer jobs in education-oriented
groups help you know first-hand what it would be like to stand in front of a class
and teach.
What about those already working in the academe? Part-time teaching can lead
you to more specialised skills. For instance, the mentoring program applied in
many districts enables experienced teachers to teach a new student profile:
newbie teachers. If youre qualified to be a mentor, you can benefit not only from

the extra hourly income but also from a comprehensive training curriculum
especially designed to hone your skills in areas such as adult learning and peer
coaching. Consequently, youll be able to help professionalise the industry, as you
help new teachers develop their capacities and perspectives as educators.
Another component of part-time teaching proves that the saying those whocant, teach is untrue. Sometimes, a
practicing professional can be the most
qualified or effective teacher in a given
field. You can see this in journalism
courses where the lecturer is a
newspaper reporter or editor, or in pre-
med internships, where resident doctors
facilitate undergraduate medical training
in actual hospitals or health care centers.
Part-time teaching jobsare advertised in
classified ads, Internet job sites, or job
fairs. You can also contact a school by
district or location to see if they have part-time positions available. If you want a
more comprehensive search, the best way is to look up career websites that post
job wanted ads compiled from various sources such as job agencies, online job
search sites, or directly from employers.
