Playghirl Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 so, after being a permanent teacher for 15 years in The UK and 3 in Sydney. I'm loving the change of pace. How is everyone else finding it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolvesaussie Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Change of pace to be a casual teacher, or change in pace to teach in Australia? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playghirl Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 Change of pace being a casual teacher. Though fair to say both apply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benj1980 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 What are the main differences as a casual teacher? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy1 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 What are the main differences as a casual teacher? I think the OP may mean a relief teacher. The main difference is that the days of work change from week to week, depending on needs of local schools. A relief teacher may get seven days one week and then nothing the next. The other difference of course is that that there no prep to be done for classes and no work to take home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chatterbox Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 so, after being a permanent teacher for 15 years in The UK and 3 in Sydney. I'm loving the change of pace. How is everyone else finding it? Out of interest, how is the pay when doing relief teaching? Might need to start off in the supply pool and work towards a permanent job so would be useful to know.

Playghirl Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 It varies, in private schools I get 440 per day, in some independent and other catholic schools around 370, and I think the DeC is about the same. It depends on years of training and experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chatterbox Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Thanks Playghirl, useful to know. Fingers crossed that there is lots of work available for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
