Teaching
www.teachnz.govt.nz
From time to time, there are more opportunities in some teaching sectors than others - for instance, there is currently high demand for primary teachers and secondary teachers of the Sciences, Technology and Mathematics. There is also a need to see more male teachers in early childhood education and primary classrooms, and more people who can speak Te Reo Māori and Pacific languages at all levels of the education system.
Talking with experienced teachers, recent student teachers, careers advisors and principals can be a great help in deciding whether teaching is for you. You can also contact your nearest tertiary provider and discuss what it's like to be in the classroom or ECE centre. They may be able to arrange for you to spend some time observing a class or centre in action.
