Teach For Australia

Teach For Australia is a new pathway into teaching for graduates who do not meet the standard entry requirements for teaching in schools. Selected Teach For Australia Associates will receive six weeks of intense teacher and leadership training prior to beginning their placements, and will also receive ongoing support and mentoring to ensure that they are effective facilitators of learning. You are not eligible to apply for this program if you hold a degree or diploma in education or are currently enrolled in such a program, as you already meet the requirements for entry into the teaching profession.
