Is Victoria going down the high impact path? They need to.![]()
Victorian government to cover the cost of some teaching degrees to ease shortage
Students who study secondary school teaching at university will have the cost of their degrees covered by the Victorian government in a plan to boost the supply of teachers.www.abc.net.au
Pros: free teaching degree should obviously encourage a greater uptake and help with shortages
Cons: a fair few, but the two main ones are that it 'devalues' the degree and will attract lower quality students, and it is a sign that the Victorian system is f***ed.

Yep. This is happening at my school.On the TFI, It's mostly in secondary or special education where it's harder to fill. I know the media mentioned those fields are really hard to fill.
I know the secondary school near me are struggling to fill positions and it's mostly due to the behaviour of students and teachers not tolerating it anymore.
Yep. This is happening at my school.
Lol this 100%. I think I've seen the Campus director 3 times the entire year. The Principal maybe 10. And they never actually walk into a classroom. At my old school this was very different- the principal would semi-regularly walk into classes.That's why I changed to a special school this year. The behaviours at my previous school had become intolerable. I was being verbally abused on a daily basis. And admin were basically powerless to do anything. They shut themselves up in their office avoiding having to deal with the behaviours. At my special school the kids still have their behaviours but at least usually it's because of their disability and I never feel that it's directed specifically towards me whereas mainstream kids are malicious and vindictive.
What's the class size at your new school? And what kind/extent of disabilities if you dont mind me asking.At my special school the kids still have their behaviours but at least usually it's because of their disability and I never feel that it's directed specifically towards me whereas mainstream kids are malicious and vindictive.

Without being patronizing at all, good on you. Even with the smaller class size, I'd imagine it would be very challenging.I've got 7 kids. They all have intellectual disabilities and most of them are ASD. Most of them are in grade 4 or 5 but working at a prep level. I'm teaching them very basic literacy and numeracy skills.
I've found that at every school I've worked at.When I worked in a special school, leadership were never present. They sat in the office and got LS or LT (middle tier) to sort stuff.
Yep. Seen many suck ups with no leadership experience get promoted while plenty of more experienced (including myself) are looked over. One never led a team or had their own classroom and only taught for 5 years.Theres a lot of bad kids but it's the gossip, suck up and back stab culture of the school staff here really puts me off the idea of working there.
I agree with this.Also not a fan of promoting people based just on experience - would rather my boss be a newbie that came from another school and has fresh ideas rather than a person I worked with for 10 years who thinks they are entitled to the position but brings nothing
This is going to backfire regardless.In a move that no-one saw coming and wasn't widely predicted, Curtin University (the biggest uni in WA) has reinstated the one year Graduate Diploma, after it was dropped just five years ago in favour of a two year Masters course.

One-year teaching diploma revived for desperate classrooms
WA’s biggest university is reinstating a one-year teaching qualification to fast-track more teachers into the profession to help plug growing shortages.thewest.com.au
Secondary teacher here at a public school. Qualified to teach phys ed and science. Teach maths and science full time.Hi all,
I'm in year 11 next year and it's time I started thinking of career options.
so just recently I was thinking about becoming a Secondary School Teacher for Maths, Italian and maybe Drama or something.
Is anyone here a teacher? Is it a fun job?
What would be the pro's and cons?
What is the pay like?
I don't know whether I should become a teacher though because when I told my Maths teacher she said my grades proove I can do something a little more extravagent.
I just think it would be intruiging job thats all.
Any thoughts?
