Jumpstarting Your Career with London Teaching
Jobs
London is not just a great tourist destination; it has also become a dream work
destination for educators. The UK Educational System is known for itsgenerous provision and ideal policies for teachers; definitely a more ideal
system compared to other countries. Teachers from all over the world seek to
find placement in both public and private UK schools with the help of teaching
agencies.
One cannot help but compare the demand for teachers in the UK with the
problematic lack of professional teaching opportunities in other countries.
And its not just the lack of teaching jobs thats the problem; its also the low
salary that most teachers have thats not even enough to cover their expenses
much more. Its unfortunate how many education graduates are forced to
work in fields that do not completely make use of their expertise or leave their
homes to take advantage of the teaching opportunities elsewhere where they
will be well-compensated for their hardwork.

In London, theres always a demand for teachers not just for the traditional
educational system but also for the informal and non-formal schooling
systems. London teaching jobsalways need to be filled to better cater to the
educational needs of particular demographics. Though theres always
demand for regular school teachers, the growing interest of most people for
quick learning programs also needs to be properly catered to. Short courses
for care-giving, medical transcription and other growing industries in the UK
require teachers. Language specialists, especially, are greatly sought after
because of the large number of immigrants who need help in learning English
as a secondary language.
Schools and other educational facilities often affiliate themselves with
reputable teaching agencies that can help them find teachers who can fill theirpost. Not only that, they are also known to direct nurses and other
professionals who wish to do their practice in the school system. The agencies
are always hard at work in placing the perfect people for the positions that
need to be filled and also in finding specific London teaching jobsfor clients
who are on the lookout for a teaching career within the city.
Jumpstarting your career in London can surely be made easier by signing up
with a teaching agency. Its pertinent to conduct a thorough background
check first before entrusting your professional career to the hands of aparticular group. Look for an agency thats accredited with the Department of
Educations Quality Mark. This mark is assurance that the London teaching
jobs that will be assigned to you are quality ones that will satisfy you
professionally and monetarily.

Trusting Accredited UK Teaching Agencies for
Quality Job Placements
A lot of teachers nowadays often
dread the period of seeking
employment. For most of them,
its going from one job
opportunity to another and
being asked to wait for a span of
time until they get told if they
got the job or not.
Getting help from a teachingagency often seems shady and
an expense which most of these
job-seekers feel they do not
need. This misconception was probably prompted by news of anomalous
agencies that dupe their clients just for the money. However, this is not the
case among UK teaching agencies which are mostly accredited with the
Department of Educations Quality Mark. This accreditation is not easily
earned, and agencies that have this accreditation naturally have to abide bythe high standards of the department. Any teaching agency that fails to do so
does not get accredited or loses their accreditation, thus instantly relegating
them as a second-rate agency not expected to give quality service. Since this is
a business, no agency would risk losing its accreditation because the stakes
are just too high.
The Department of Educations Quality Mark is an important consideration of
teachers seeking placement in schools and schools looking for teachers
whenever they need the services of a teaching agency. Consistently accredited
agencies provide their clients the confidence of only getting quality
placements. These agencies always make sure to perform an in-depth
evaluation of the credentials of the teachers they recommend to schools.
Apparently, this is an effective way of upholding the particular educational

standards of client institutions as well as reinforcing the good reputation of
the agencies.
UK teaching agenciesare committed to providing their clients with the best
quality service. Vouching for the credibility of one client to the other is acritical job that they do where quality is always of utmost important. True,
they get paid for their placement services but making sure that the people
they recommend to a school and the other way around will produce an ideal
as well as beneficial working relationship is an underlying factor of the real
goal; its not just placing people in a system where they might fit, its about
quality placement where everybody wins.
Checking out the classified ads still works, of course, but how about getting
really serious with your job hunt by getting the help ofUK teaching agencies?The rate of success is higher and the process will definitely be less stressful on
you.

Teaching Jobs UK Offers
In a recent report published by the
Organisation for Economic Co-operation
and Development (OECD), the UK isshown as having the third highest
university tuition fees in the world. The
US and Korea reportedly come in at first
and second, respectively. What does it
all mean? It indicates a remarkable
opportunity for those seeking to enter
the teaching profession. Teaching jobs
UK, mainly, grant enormous possibilitiesfor career satisfaction and adequate
security. You can either start with a
university degree focusing on education
or shift mid-career towards a job in
instruction, provided of course you have
the proper credentials.
The revealing OECD report also included
the average class sizes at the primary and lower secondary levels. In
comparison to the 22.8% class size in the US, UKs lower secondary class size
in 2009 was at 19.6%. The study found that upper secondary graduation rates
were better in the UK at 92%, whereas the US had a rate of 76% and the
European Union had 85%.
Teaching in the UK, you get a more manageable class size and have a better
chance of producing students who move on to university level.
Understandably then, the educational standards are exceptionally higher inthe UK. Teaching credentials are scrutinised to provide the degree of
instruction capable of delivering the best possible education for the countrys
future workforce.

State-maintained schools in England and Wales require teacher training and
examinations for qualified teaching status, aside from obtaining a bachelors
degree. The teacher training depends on the age group you intend to teach.
The training and qualifying exams for certification are handled by the Training
and Development Agency for Schools (TDA). If you havent taken the
necessary exams for English, science or mathematics, your initial teacher
training (ITT) provider should give you a pre-entry test. All of this is a pre-
requisite to being awarded a qualified teaching status so you can apply for
London teaching jobs.
According to the TDA, the minimum annual salary for a newly qualified
teacher is set at 21,588. In inner London, the salary starts off at 27,000. You
can look up teaching opportunities online, through local and national press, orenquire with local education authorities. However, UK teaching agencies
would have a much more comprehensive listing of available posts in the best
locations.
Teaching agencies or recruitment firms also offer a range of services other
than provide job opportunities. Professional and established agencies will
have free training courses and consultants to help you direct or develop your
career in education. So, if youre considering a shift in profession or have a
passion for teaching, acquire the proper credentials and consider anaccredited agency to help you find that rewarding teaching post.

What You Can Expect When Teaching in the UK
The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher
demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.- William Arthur Ward
Great teachers are few and far between. You can perhaps count the number of
exceptional ones in one hand; teachers that inspire you enough to re-enact
that glorious Dead Poets Society scene where all the chaps stand on their
desks proclaiming their devotion and respect to a rather serious version ofRobin Williams. While teaching is a huge responsibility, it can also be equally
rewarding. Teaching in the UK affords this opportunity with a range of
resources from the government and private sectors.
Starting Your Career
If you arent quite sure about taking on a career in ed ucation, you can spend
time in a classroom. The School Experience Programme (SPE) is a bit like a
cross breed of class auditing and on-the-job training. The SPE allows you toimmerse in school life as an observer in several classes and as a teaching
assistant, with opportunities to plan and deliver a part of or the entire lesson
to an actual class. The Programme will also give you a chance to study the day-
to-day management of a school, allowing you to be familiar with current
school policies.

During your participation in the SPE, you can consult with teachers who have
had years of experience. This, along with the classroom experience you
acquire during the placement, will guide you better in deciding whether
London teaching jobssuit you.
The SPE can take anywhere from one to 10 days. If you arent prepared to dive
right into teaching a class just yet, the Teaching Advocate Programme
provides advice and insights into a career in education. Teaching advocates
are serving teachers who can help you make an informed decision by telling
you what its like to teach on a day-to-day basis. You can find out about
classroom behaviour, curriculum, and workload management.
The Rewards and Benefits
Theteaching jobs UKoffers are as rewarding as any corporate post. If youve
received your newly qualified teacher (NQT) status, you can expect a starting
salary of 21,588 a year in England and Wales, 27,000 if you work in inner
London, 25,117 for outer London, and 22,626 for London fringe. The pay
scales are amended by the government every September, according to the
Training and Development Agency for Schools (TDA), which will soon be
closed to make way for the Department of Educations new executive body,
the Teaching Agency.
UK teaching agencies can help you find the best available teaching posts.
Teaching agencies will also offer a range of services other than provide job
opportunities. Accredited and established agencies will have free training
courses and consultants to help you direct or develop your career in
education.
Life as a teacher is an enormous responsibility. You will not only instruct,
explain, and demonstrate, but you will want to inspire. After all, you will have
in your classroom a captive audience of future artists, titans of industries, and
citizens who will shape the future of England.

Teaching Agencies: London and Its Search for
Effective Educators
"Once children learn
how to learn, nothing
is going to narrow
their mind. The
essence of teaching is
to make learning
contagious, to have
one idea sparkanother." American
educator Marva
Collins may have
uttered these words, but they speak of a philosophy that is taken to heart by
any teacher living in any corner of the world.
What teachers possess is an extraordinary gifta love for knowledge that
must be shared with other people. Indeed, it takes a certain fire, a special
passion for helping someone else exceed their present abilities and capacities
that essentially makes a good teacher. Such individuals are valuable, which is
why the best teachers are continually being sought and recruited byteaching
agencies. London aims to bring the most effective educators to the city's
schools and nurseries in order to foster a love for education among its
children.
Why would you consider a career in education? For most established teachers,
the reasons are mainly of a compassionate and helpful nature; there is alwaysa desire to communicate with young children and help them gain new
experiences, new insights. It is more than simply feeding new information to a
child and expecting the child to repeat it exactly as it is; teachers can recognize
the potential of the human mind to learn information, interpret it in as many
ways as possible, and decide for themselves how the knowledge can be

applied into actions in their own lives. In essence, efficient teaching allows
children to arm themselves with the knowledge they will need to survive in a
multi-faceted world.
Look back on your early school daysyou are sure to remember one or twoparticular teachers who left an indelible mark on your childhood. It may be
the teacher who taught you how to use a microscope and introduced you to a
world of minute organisms that led to your career in studying diseases.
It may be the one who encouraged you to write for the school paper, the same
person you remember fondly each time you head out for news writing
assignment.
Or perhaps you remember most the home economics teacher who stayedbehind for your second batch of muffins and taught you how to bake pastries
with the delight of your family and friends in mind--a practice that you have
kept each time you dust your hands with flour at your bakery, no matter if
you're making a plate of cookies or a wedding cake for 100 people.
Teachers are the people who encourage us to learn as much as we can, until
we find our own passions and eventually spend a lifetime being better at our
chosen crafts. There would be no greater reward for educators all over the
world than seeing their little charges absorb the knowledge they have passedon and find an area they in turn can excel in.
Do you have a passion for communicating and working with young children?
Do you have the flexibility to interact with individuals of varying learning
levels? Do you live to motivate another person to maximize their potentials
and nurture a hunger for knowledge that they can feed throughout their lives?
If you agree to all these, then you may have found for yourself a worthy
vocation. Approach any number ofteaching agencies-- Londonwill be glad to
adopt you into its education system and nurture a new generation of
inquisitive little learners.
