The main work of teachers is engaging students, conveying high expectations for them and sharing love of your subject. As a teacher, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to have fun, create interesting lessons, and spark passion in your students.
As a teacher, you’ll start your day preparing for and delivering lessons to students on a range of topics.
In this program, you’ll start doing the work of a teacher. First, you’ll watch an expert Teach for Australia teacher lead in their classroom and learn which skills they are using to communicate well. Second, you will learn about a ‘growth mindset’, which can contribute to student success, and you will plan and deliver a short activity for your students to complete.
This program is self-paced. It takes approximately 1-2 hours to complete.
