Youâre studying Education as well? Iâve felt the same. I know the theory behind stuff but NFI on how to actually teach. Placements arenât long enough.
I agree. A term in the classroom all up isnât long enough. Iâm a fan of the apprenticeship-based model thatâs come out recently, but I think it should be extended to primary.
Yep. It should be an apprenticeship, or hybrid. Maybe 2 years theory, 2 years apprenticeship, or 3/1. Iâm hoping to get a job as a TA next year to get some classroom experience before I graduate (sometime in 2027 I hope)
Thatâs a good idea! If youâre interested in Vic public, they advertise jobs all the time on the school jobs vic portal. Potentially even cold calling / emailing schools including ones youâve done placement at could be a good idea :)

I taught anatomy for a year with only my Health Science degree, no education training.

Thatâs pretty cool. Do you use anatomy in your job now?
