Education Internships

Internships in Education are intended to provide qualified teachers, trainee teachers or students interested in Education who are from overseas, with the opportunity to acquire considerable knowledge of the Australian Education System.

The program has been established to accomplish four objectives: 

• To assist applicants in further developing a wider English vocabulary related to their employment of teaching English in their own country.
• To identify teaching skills and educational practices necessary to acquire and maintain excellence in teaching. (Methodology).

•  To evaluate the performance of applicants based upon current Australian teaching standards.

•  To evaluate the quality of Teacher Training programs. (Orientation)

All applicants for Internship in Education are placed in Pre schools (Kindergarten) or Primary schools.

Applicants can be placed in classrooms on a rotation basis. E.g. junior classes for 1 week, senior classes for the following week.

Classroom duties would consist of :

• Classroom teacher support

• Small group classes – project work

• Teaching specific disciplines – e.g. reading, mathematics

• Lesson Planning

Our commitment is to provide applicants whom have intentional learning goals, to be placed in an Australian education environment which supports what they have an interest in, what they have learned through their academic studies and their own past experiences.

Education Internships can also arrange Orientation classes prior to the applicant beginning their Internship.

Why do an Internship ?

Internships overseas are highly valued for several reasons:

• They offer deeper cultural immersion and the experience of working with professionals in an International city.
• They offer intensive practical language training and an opportunity to apply lessons learned in the classroom to life outside.
• They offer lessons learned in the business arena to apply to the classroom environment.
• They provide valuable International work experience.

For all applicants there is no payment as this is Internship.  The hours per week would vary between ten to thirty, two to five days per week depending upon the requirements and circumstances of each applicant.

Applicants are placed with schools based upon their requirements and suitability. Factors assessed are :

• Academic studies completed/ current

• Experience

• Current or booked home location

• Level of English.

Internships are invaluable learning experiences for all applicants. Principals are demanding that teachers who wish to upgrade their skills, have "real world" experience, and internships are one of the best ways for this to occur.
