The recent revelation that children will be kept in education until the age of 18
has meant that the standards of teaching are going to have to be increased to an all time high. Some students can get by on minimal or below standard teaching when taking their GCSEs but as they move on to A-levels they must receive a higher teaching standard in order to pass with a suitable grade. Not everyone will continue to the path of further education on to University but it is important that teachers provide their students with the knowledge so that when it comes to choosing whether they are going to or not they have all the information they need.
Schools and colleges need to find the right teachers to provide the right levels of education for all students. This may be as simple as finding a replacement teacher to fill in for someone who may have called in sick or is on maternity leave and is required for longer. If you are in charge of hiring teachers you will know that there are many people looking for work, during the recession many people went into teaching as a way of securing a job but this has now meant that there are many teachers still looking.
Finding the right teacher for the right role is not an easy task as you want to ensure that they are the type of person who can come in at short notice and pick things up quickly. Having a good rapport with the students is also important and making sure that the teacher can communicate with them is important but it is hard to see this from a CV. There are services on the internet that allow you to find the right teacher for the role you are looking to fill whether it is part time or full time.
These services work for both colleges looking for teachers and the other way round as well with teachers able to look at vacant positions. You may be able to find a college in your area that you didnt know was looking for teachers and apply for a position, this means you will not have to relocate anywhere and you can enjoy your teaching career. Supply teachers are different to other fulltime teachers as they go into schools when needed but still are important.
