As good a chance as you could have for years as the YR 7 hit highschool.
Goodluck.
Ahh teachers, little wonder we pay them so poorly when they don't know the difference between the word 'intensive' and 'incentive'.
$100,000+ is not poorly paid for WA level 3's for 40 wks work/year.
Teachers are nothing like as poorly paid as they were.
Retail managers are myopic pedants.
Was the PD compulsory??Did all teachers have to attend?
The simple facts are that equitable workload is an issue in the profession.Level 3 Home Ec,Phys Ed,Industrial Design,Media etc have a less demanding workload than English with TEE.Then there is the issue of the individual teacher's attitude and approach.
Plenty of teachers work 40 wks.
My point however was responding to the poster who said it was no wonder teachers were poorly paid.

Um mate you're kidding if you think its 40 weeks work a year.
Like the previous poster, I spent days doing Individual Learning Plans, preparing for my Performance Review and also planning activities. I reckon I only had 5 days relaxing.
And yes professional development is compulsory for all staff
I am close to completing the 4 year course. Will only be 21 once finished. Was wondering if anyone knew any additional uni course that i could apply for that i would have credits for?
Primary or high?
High
High, but can do both
How can you do both? Must be different in Vic.
If you did High, what area are you specialising in?
Sorry, should have specified that I am doing physical education teaching. So once you finish the course you are able to teach in both
I honestly wish anyone who peruses teaching all the best, i graduated with highest honors from university, but that means nothing, well as far as my experience will tell you. Bitter yes I am, finding a job in Western Australia has been brutal, it is a great job and if you want to pursue it, go for it, everyone's journey in the industry is different, half the people i graduated with have quit due to lack of work opportunites, the other half have had steady work, so really its the luck of the draw
Oh interesting. I did a Dip Ed in PE and science but can only teach full time in high school. But Ive done relief in primary. If you specialised in PE then you'd likely have credits to do a sports science degree and branch off into some specialised area like exercise phys, biomechanics, health promotion, OT.
Perhaps even coaching post grad. Deakin does a Master of Sport coaching that can be done online.
If I was going to do further study and was in your position I would smash out a sports science degree in a specialised area that your passionate about and get really into it. Especially considering your so young. My biggest regret was turning down an opportunity to do a masters in motor control and development. A couple of guys in my course took up the offer, a few years later and I see one of them walking the boundary during a test at the WACA, and the other guy putting up photos on facebook sitting in an Eagles coaching box tracking GPS readings from players.
