Hi all, good to be back!
This is probably a question only those who are thinking about teaching could answer. I used to be a teacher, am qualified and did 2 years in school but that was over 8 years ago. If I'm thinking of teaching in NZ I need to get NZQA assessment, yes, and also to register with the Teaching Council. However, I think the Council requires that you've done some teaching in the past 5 years before they will grant you registration.
Short of going back to the classroom for a few months before I come out to NZ, is there any way around this one? I just saw a peach of a job but I think that, even if I was offered it, legally I wouldn't be able to do it. Any thoughts? I might just give it a pop anyway...
If you've been in the forum BC (before catastrophe) you'll know that I've got an EOI selected from the pool already, just hoping that the teaching I did counts for something out there since it's an important part of my overall work experience total.
