Teaching Jobs In UK Schools Require More Than A

Stellar Academic Record

The pervading belief that most people havewhen it comes to landing teaching jobs in UK

schools is that an impressive academic record

is highly required. After all, it would be

somewhat hypocritical of them to push their

students to strive for academic excellence if

they themselves did not practice the same

discipline and dedication to their studies, right?

However, a stellar academic record is not allthere is when it comes to being an effective

teacher, especially considering the

continuously evolving dynamics of education in

most schools. A list of impressive qualifications,

in many cases, fails to be the most reliable

basis in determining competence in the

teaching field.

This is not to say that scoring high in the QTS skills test (which, by the way, has

been made more challenging with the new higher pass grade) and graduating

with top honours from university are not important because they are. However,

theres a need to have a new way of thinking when it comes to assessing teaching

trainees abilities to perform well as education professionals. It does seem that

these days a lot of people who actually have the educational background to

become teachers fail to thrive in the teaching field and end up functioning better

in non-teaching careers. The real challenges inside the classroom turn out to belessons not present in books or any teaching manual, making all the learning

theories and pedagogical approaches somewhat futile.

In a recently conducted Twitter survey, people were asked this question, "What

are the most important things to look for in those wanting to train as teachers?"

Surprisingly, an impressive academic record was not what most of the

participants had in mind. Most of the answers provided for this query were zoned

in on the professionals ability to foster a good relationship with their students so

that learning will be more engaging and enjoyable whilst maintaining her figure as

the authority of knowledge and right values inside the classroom.

As the adage says, Teaching is a calling more than a profession. A strong

academic background has long been established as an edge because schools

looking for teachers really do have the tendency to give honour graduates first

priority. However, when it comes to efficacy inside the classroom, its too

simplistic to equate that as the most important thing; attitude and values create a

better teaching/learning setting.

Elevating The Standards Of London Teacher Jobs

One of the ways the Ministry

of Education has come up

with to keep on pushing the

quality of education in the

UK much higher is by making

sure that teachers are of

exceptional calibre.

Impressive academic

background supported by a

passion for teaching is to be

tested by the much more

difficult QTS skills test. With

the higher qualifying passing grade, those who are really looking into a

professional teaching career will surely be making extra preparations to improve

their skills to be branded competent to secure London teacher jobs.

Reports reveal that for candidates to pass, they will be required to score the

equivalent of a B at GSCE. It was also revealed that the 20,000 scholarships being

offered by the government is a strategy to draw high achieving computer

scientists into teaching. Drawing these professionals into the teaching field is

expected to take education dynamics to a higher level of technological versatility

that would lead to further advancements that will surely benefit the students.

Despite this effort to elevate the standards of teaching jobs in London and the

rest of the country, many people still believe that continuously focusing on the

important values in the classroom is just as important. All the new more stringent

requirements should be implemented with the welfare of the learners in mind.

A lot of people have issues with the new policies to supposedly test the

competency of those who wish to find placement in the countrys learning

institutions. Are they just for show or do they really help serve the purpose they

claim to have? Upgrading the standards will surely prompt teacher trainees to

work harder in improving their skills; this creates pressure to be better. Another

advantage is that this will provide them the opportunity to fully discern if teaching

is the right profession for them because apparently teaching is not just about

having pedagogical training; attitude and values make all the difference in the real

classroom setting.

The real upgrade of education is not just one thing it has to be the perfect

combination of all the good things. One element cannot be placed over the other

for that will create an unbalanced system. The most effective strategy would be

to make sure that the people who want to become teachers have the perfect

balance of stellar academic background, skills, as well as the right attitude to be

effective authorities in the classroom. Schools should look for these qualities

instead of just focusing excessively on scores derived from examinations.

A List Of Part- And Full-Time School Jobs In The UK

A school is a great work

setting. Its comfortable

and many feel that its a

very secure place to use

their skills, better them,

and generate income in

the process. Aside from

the usual teaching jobs,

there are other school

jobs that a lot of people

look into for part-time or

full-time employment. Teaching agencies across the United Kingdom also provide

their services to supply learning institutions with these jobs. If youre looking for

a job in a school setting, here is a list of both part-time and full-time jobs that you

may qualify for, depending on your educational attainment or professional

background.

1. Club moderator Schools in the UK and all over the world have extra-curricular activities that do not require a licensed teacher to serve as head.

Glee club, dance club and even cheerleading squads, sports teams, and

drama guilds have moderators who have not yet completed their university

studies. To become a club moderator, one just needs to have the right

experience and the dedication to the schools and the clubs own mission

and vision.

2. Cook or kitchen personnel The requirements vary for every school. Someschools require their kitchen personnel to have majored in nutrition

education. Naturally, these people are paid more for calculating the

nutritional value of lunch food choices; serving them according to

recommended proportions is a higher form of food preparation and

distribution. From nutrition professionals to those who are just looking for

an easy job to generate income, schools cafeterias are definitely worth

looking into.

3. Doctors, dentists and nurses Every school has an infirmary that needs atleast one doctor and two nurses. Medical professionals who are not keen

on the overly demanding dynamics of a hospital can apply as part of

schools medical teams and they can still pursue their own medical practice

after school hours.

4. Guidance teachers and counsellors Those who have a degree inpsychology work really well in these positions.

5. Teaching assistants are in demand in a lot of pre-schools and thequalifications are rarely stringent. A lot of parents who want to keep an

eye on their kids sign up to be teaching assistants while students who wish

to get enough experience before becoming fully-fledged teachers look to

the job of a teaching assistant as well.

6. Maintenance personnel Especially in really big schools where repairs andmaintenance are done every day, plumbers, carpenters, gardeners and

janitors, all have a place in schools.

There are still so many other school jobs available to those who are looking for

part-time and full-time employment. The bottom line is, before heading

straight to the big corporations and other commercial facilities, the local

school may just be the easiest place to get that job.

Tips For Beginners On How To Land Educational Jobs In

UKs Well-Known Learning Institutions

According to many of todays young

urban professionals, completing their

university studies marked the end of

the easy stage of their lives.

Venturing into the fierce competition

of the real world is always daunting

because the overall dynamics are

more challenging. For new teachers

hoping to land educational jobs in the

UK schools, the competition is even

much tougher because many foreign

teachers come to the country in hope

of practicing their profession and

improving their skills. If youre one of these greenhorns, you would really need to make

adequate preparation to secure a job for yourself. You are required to go about your search for

a job early and, more importantly, strategically.

Provided here are some tried and tested tips collected from former teaching hopefuls who

managed to get some of the most important educational jobs after they left university.

First tip is to take advantage of the services of teaching agencies. Its always advantageous to

sign up with an organisation thats directly linked with schools that need supply teachers and

other school personnel. However, do not sign up with every teaching agency that you know;

just stick to your top choices, such as the ones you know are associated with the learning

institutions that you want to get into.

Second tip is if youre going to be a supply teacher, having a car is an advantage. You dont

need to own the car, just one that will allow you to immediately meet the demand for a supply

teacher. A lot of agencies make their job call in the morning, pretty much when the demand

comes in so you need to be as prepared and flexible as you can be to accommodate the job.

Dont look down on being a supply teacher; its the perfect opportunity to gain experience or be

recognised as an education professional and eventually secure that much coveted teaching job.

Third tip - again be flexible. If youre a new teacher, you would likely be tasked to take care of

certain responsibilities that are not specific to the training you actually have. For example, if

you majored in French Literature, you may also be asked to teach a different special subject.

Prove your competence by being ready to study and take on a teaching duty. Look at this as an

important learning experience that will add more to your credentials as a teacher.

Fourth tip is to assure your prospective employer that you are serious and have what it takes to

be a figure of authority in the classroom. Present the disciplinary methods you adhere to, your

own teaching style and principles. Credentials are impressive but they are often never enough

in the real classroom setting; the key is to make the school administrators believe that youre

the sole perfect person for the job and choosing you would be the most advantageous decision.

Being prepared always works to get that teaching job and while youre waiting for that call,

continue to better yourself by studying further or getting teaching practice wherever you can.

Working In LondonThe Best Career Move For Many

Foreign Teachers

Teaching is considered one of the noblestprofessions and many become teachers because

of their personal burden to lead young minds

towards a higher level of learning that will help

establish a secure and stable adult life. A lot of

teachers tolerate being under-compensated for

all their efforts, especially in third, fourth and

fifth world countries. However, the pervading

problem in such countries is that there are notenough teaching opportunities for all the

university graduates who want placement in

their local schools. There are just too many

education-related issues that prevent new

teachers from fully realising their dreams of

making a difference in the lives of their students, grow professionally, as well as,

earn enough money to support their families. From lack of teaching facilities to

scarce employment opportunities for teachers, to religious constraints and peace

issues all of these have a direct impact on the lives of teachers.

Its for all these reasons that many foreign teachers dream of working in London.

The UK is the front-liner when it comes to quality education and with the Ministry

of Educations mission to further improve the countrys school system; new

teachers continue to be quite in demand. Foreign teachers who come to the

country not only find job opportunities for them, but they are also ushered into a

higher way of teaching that is consistently ready to adapt to the advancementsof the future.

Working in London is deemed the best career move for these teachers who were

prompted to leave the stagnated conditions of their respective countries

educational system. The pay is definitely higher so its absolutely advantageous to

those who need to provide for their families and establish a comfortable and

decent life. Public school teachers wages in the country are just right for a small

family.

Another advantage is how advanced and beautiful the city is. Theres so muchdiversity in London that certain social paradigms always shift therefore opening

new doors to learning and, of course, the beautiful surrounding always works in

stimulating the mind to keep on pushing towards improvement. Worth

mentioning as well is the fact that, despite Londons being a continuously evolving

city, all the strong elements of the past remain to be present. Museums, cultural

events and sites are very accessible to those who want to explore the unique

history and culture of the United Kingdom which figure in many of todays

educational materials.

Its sad that many have to leave their homeland to work and grow professionally.

Hopefully, other countries will take a cue from the UK school system and make

teaching a profession that elevates not only the lives of the students but of the

teachers as well.
