Teaching in New Zealand | Primary School | What's it like in Term 1, 2, 3 & 4?

[@reddeer1758]

Nice, fairly accurate summary for the average nz primary school! I think you missed out school camps, something that generally happens in term 4 (although ours does it in term 1 as a whole school). And field trips in general (we usually go on a field trip at least once a term, although some things such as visiting the local marae, happen much more frequently. Lots of organisation of materials, planning what will be done on the trip, filling out health and safety forms, organising parent helpers, transport, etc involved there.

[@SenseiClara]

Thanks. That's true. Although, last year my kids didn't go to school camp but they went kayaking in the nearby estuary which required parent helpers. We also went to the Auckland Zoo for our Inquiry. We didn't go to a marae but yes that could happen. When I had intermediate students, we took them on a marae trip. It was awesome. Teaching in general is really busy, though enjoyable and rewarding. 🙂

Mam can you please let me know if one person is registered as secondary teacher from teaching council Nz Can that person teach in Kindergarten or Primary sector as well

[@jaspreetpreschoolvideos1679]

Hi I’m planning to do Masters of Teaching and Learning from New Zealand. Should I go for Early Childhood Education or Primary. Which one has more job opportunities. Please advice. Thanks

[@SenseiClara]

Both!

I am a school Principal in India.WHAT IS SCOPE FOR ME IN NZ? Please guide me...

[@SenseiClara]

Hiya, The best way to get a concrete answer to your question is to get your qualifications assessed by NZQA. They will do an International Qualifications Assessment the give you the result. Here’s a guide for NZQA if you need it kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJi7mmNufpito5Isi=YTKuJyH3nPgDJFjl

HI! Very Informational! Thanks for sharing! What are the school timings?

[@SenseiClara]

Hi! No worries. Term dates usually vary so it pays to look it up. Here’s for 2024 www.govt.nz/browse/education/school-and-college/school-terms-and-holidays/

Do teachers in NZ have to teach sport after school?

[@SenseiClara]

@@yolandimare1 Not that I know of unless you voluntarily do so.

[@anittamathews5545]

Which course we should do to become a high school teacher in newzealand

[@SenseiClara]

Graduate Diploma in Teaching in Secondary That is if you have a Bachelor’s degree already.

[@Habijabi9564]

hi mam I am a Bangladeshi primary school teacher,i want to go New Zealand for both higher study and teaching. How can i get those opportunities?

[@SenseiClara]

@@Habijabi9564 Contact universities if you desire to study otherwise get your credentials assessed by NZQA. Check out my other videos, I covered all the steps to teaching here.

[@zahid201mian3]

I want to do MA TESOL from New Zealand, which university would you recommend? Can I teach while studying?

[@SenseiClara]

I went to the Uni of Waikato and it was great. Refer to this website for options www.hotcoursesabroad.com/study/training-degrees/newzealand/masters/tesol-teaching-english-speakers-of-other-languages-courses/loc/134/slevel/57-3-3/cgory/gc.521-4/sin/ct/programs.html

[@SenseiClara]

If you qualify to teach in NZ, I’m sure it’s fine. If you’re meaning teaching in a classroom while doing MA in TESOL, that should be ok as long as you qualify as a teacher in NZ. If you need guidance on becoming a teacher in NZ, refer to my other video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/ql6yn4VoqNSMg9ksi=RFcWzF8eo7-ZKtvN

Mam I want to ask you that after the diploma in teacher. Is primary Teacher job I will get in easy way or my money used in nzqa or nz teaching provisional certificate can't be waste pls mam tell me about it ?

[@SenseiClara]

These days we have a massive teacher shortage so it’s not that difficult to get a job if you can demonstrate that you have the skills and capabilities.

[@ankit07778]

What is your salary pakage mam you also tell nearly if have you any problem

[@SenseiClara]

@@ankit07778 Refer to the Ministry of Education's website for this. www.education.govt.nz/school/people-and-employment/principals-and-teachers/primary-teachers/ I might cover this in one of my videos too based on my experience. Problems - sometimes some parents are quite tricky but if you have a school that has a great support system, it's not that big of an issue.

[@ankit07778]

@@SenseiClara thankyou alot mam I was followed your daily video mam can you also tell me first teacher will going to newzealand on which visa accredited work visa or work to residence visa

[@SenseiClara]

@@ankit07778 I suppose you can do either according to what's applicable to you. An accredited Employer Work Visa gets honored to you when you manage to secure a job at a school or an ECE center.

Is it possible to come as an international student and study bachelor of education (primary) in New Zealand and work as a primary teacher?( after done all related exams via NZ government for primary teaching in NZ )

[@SenseiClara]

It surely is possible as long as you meet the university's requirements.

[@aashly_1]

@@SenseiClara Thank you sooooooooooo much ? Do u know which university is best for bachelor of education with low tuition fee? & after completing a diploma & graduate diploma in early childhood teaching in NZ,Is it okay to get a early childhood teacher position with these qualifications ?

[@SenseiClara]

@cool12d Hi, No worries. 🙂 University fees are usually pretty close to each other if not the same. Anyway, I went to the University of Waikato and it was great. You should be able to get a job once you’re qualified. 👍

[@leil_13]

Is it possible for me to teach in primary education as a graduate of secondary education major in English? I'm licensed but don't have a classroom experience, but have ESL experience po and TESOL certificate. I'm preparing for NZQA and for PTE as first step. What pathway do you think I can take? Salamat!

[@SenseiClara]

I replied to your other comment. I'm a licensed teacher in the Philippines, too but my story is a bit complicated. I missed my practicum so I had to do a 1-year study here to register as a teacher. Once you have registered as a teacher in NZ, you can go from high school to primary or vice versa but this is according to the principal's discretion. If you can demonstrate that you can execute the job, you should be sweet. I know a few people who have done this. But going to ECE, I don't know about that. They seem to have strict regulations over this. But, you can always try.

[@SenseiClara]

Yes, it is but that’s usually up to the principal’s discretion as long as you are registered as a teacher. Good luck with your application! 🙂

[@leawu7843]

hi, teach! Can you give us tips on how to choose which school we should apply? I am currently looking for schools now :D

Look for schools where your values align with theirs. 🙂

Hi po! Thank you for making this video. I've noticed that your accent is native-like. Is that a requirement for one to teach in New Zealand? Thank you!

[@SenseiClara]

Hello po, Nah, it isn’t a requirement as long as you can be understood by people. However, you need to provide a proof of language proficiency i.e. IELTS, PTE etc.
