    How Top Educational Recruitment Agencies Ensure

    Quality Teaching

    Teaching, they say, is really the oldest profession in the world. After all,

    the foundation of civilisation has always been teachers: philosophers,

    religious figures, mentors who had a huge role and influence in history.

    Despite this noble backdrop, the profession today seems to be plagued

    with various concerns. Many educators around the world are

    unemployed, underpaid, or plain unappreciated. There are many

    eligible candidates who, for lack of job opportunities or a fair

    employment prospect, just make do with other jobs unrelated to their

    field. In some places, it would not be so surprising to see your kids

    homeroom adviser working next year as a call centre agent or a live-in

    nanny in another country due to economic reasons.

    On the other hand, some groups decry what they believe as poor

    quality of teaching these days. Educational recruitment agencies were

    blamed for supplying under-qualified staff not equipped to handle the

    responsibility. Schools are under the spotlight for not being able to

    deliver the measure of guidance and knowledge they were expected to

    provide the children. Indeed, the issue of teaching has always been a

    controversial and sensitive one because it involved one of the most

    important aspects of a society: shaping young minds tasked to shape

    the future.

    Today, the education sector is making conscious efforts to improve the

    quality and framework of the classroom experience today. One of their

    action plans is to ensure all teaching staff must be highly competent

    professionals by hiring candidates from premiere teaching recruitment

    agencies.

    Leading educational recruitment agencies apply a high standard of

    selection, screening and interview process of teachers and teaching

    support staff. They also ensure each teacher has the skills, experience

    and personality suited to the school, subject and age level they will be

    handling. At the first level, the agency will ensure that each candidate

    will possess the necessary educational background, visa, work permit,

    licenses and other official requirements required by the governingauthorities. These documents can help certify that no legal or industry

    procedures have been bypassed, and that basic skills and competencies

    are already in place.

    The screening process will also determine whether the candidate can

    combine teaching proficiency, an understanding of child development

    principles and the ability to perform the needed administrative tasks

    required of the role. This means that each teacher does not only knowhow to teach the subject matter well, but can also be able to relate to

    the students and manage other tasks such as facilitating parent-teacher

    meetings.

    By providing schools with highly competent teachers, recruitment

    agencies can help improve the quality of teaching, help solve education

    issues and promote love of learning among todays students.

    Hair in a tight bun. Reading glasses. Prim and proper clothing. A serious

    expression. Chalk in hand. Apple on table, optional. Image of a typical

    teacher? Not anymore. Today, teachers come in all sorts of shapes,

    sizes and colours, and each one has a personal approach on how to

    best share knowledge and shape perspectives. Some are strict, while

    some act just like your best buddies. Some teach in the most state-of-

    the-art facilities in front of the worlds most gifted and privileged

    students. A few stand barefoot in muddy paddies, teaching the

    alphabet to skinny little pupils who had to cross mountains and riverseveryday just to go to school, knowing that what they teach can

    What about you? What are your qualities as a teacher?

    Ifyoure a fresh education graduate hunting for a job, an experienced

    professional thinking of a career move, or an educator looking for

    career development, you should be able to answer this question to

    yourself easily and honestly. If not, then its time to make a quick

    assessment of your skills, competencies and accomplishments to help

    you strategise your next teaching jobs application. A thorough self-

    evaluation of your profile can make you see which areas of your career

    or training you would want to highlight to prospective employers, and

    which areas need improvement and what can you do about them. This

    way, you can work with your teaching agency to determine which

    teaching posts will be most suited to your teaching skills and style.

    Your first responsibility as a teaching candidate is to prepare the

    requirements for teachers in the school district youll be applying for.

    The most helpful recruitment agencies will provide you a checklist of

    the documents you need to present, and assist you in obtaining the

    others that are yet to be processed. Work permits, working visa,

    national licenses and certifications are usually the major requisites,

    especially if youll be coming in from another country.

    Its recommended that you come in with teaching experience. If this is

    your first job, try volunteering in teaching-related projects, such as

    signing up for an outreach program or working as a museum guide. This

    will provide you a first-hand impression of your tasks, and assureschools that you learned how to apply schoolbook theories to practice.

    Subject matter teaching proficiency is another important component,

    especially if you would want to apply for specialist subjects. You should

    be able to show that you do not only possess enough knowledge of the

    subjects, but more importantly, the method and expertise of sharingthat wisdom to your students. Specialist teachers in maths, science and

    languages are in-demand right now.

    The best way to look for teaching jobs is to have your application

    managed by a leading recruitment agency. Not only can they provide

    you with a suitable reference, but also offer you additional support,

    training and tools to help you be the best teacher you can be.

    The Prevailing Problem With Teacher Jobs In Some Parts

    Of The World

    The common situation in a lot of countries is that there arent enough

    teacher jobs available for the bulk of Education major graduates. In

    Japan, a lot of schools have dwindling numbers of students so there are

    very few opportunities to join the teaching faculty. In the Philippines

    on the other hand, the education budget is so small that even if its

    going to be a great advantage to add more teachers to properly teach

    the great number of students in public schools, the average salary of

    teachers in the public school system is always a major turn-off. Those

    who want to serve their lifes purpose and be compensated adequately

    typically head to private schools or abroad.

    Recent studies show that those who go abroad to secure teacher jobs

    are often the exceptionally-skilled Education graduates or teachers. In

    a lot of second and third-world countries, theres a belief that greener

    pastures are not in the native soil especially for teachers. Theynaturally think this way because of the rather insulting basic salary of

    teachers in their countries its so small that teachers should just live

    as singles all their lives because they surely wont be able to raise a

    family with it. Regardless of the nobility of the profession, if teachers do

    not feel valued for their efforts, they can easily lose steam and become

    frustrated. Frustration can very easily cause the decline of the quality of

    education. Its bad enough that the facilities are just horrendous but

    overworking the teachers by making them teach several classes of over

    one hundred students per class and shoulder teaching expenses, such

    as visual aids and even chalk, is just very demeaning. So, instead of

    being trapped in a dead end job, teachers head off to a place where

    they can grow and feel valued.

    One of the main destinations for teachers seeking greener pastures isthe UK. First and foremost, its home to the number one university in

    the world, the University of Cambridge, meaning quality of education is

    tops. Secondly, while the education system is not perfect, there are

    moreteacher jobsthat are available and these jobs are a great upgrade

    for teachers from foreign countries. Compensation is way better,

    including the benefits; the setting is considerably first class and there

    are opportunities both in the formal and informal educationinstitutions.

    With all these provisions, dignity is restored to the teachers. They feel

    better about what they do and will be inspired to improve both for

    their students and own benefit.

    Essential Tips In Making The Right Pick Among Teaching

    Agencies

    There a lot of teaching agencies sprouting from nowhere these days,

    with education having consistent demand for teaching personnel, the

    supply of teaching staff has proven to be a lucrative business. There

    are some which are purely in it for the money, while most are truly

    dedicated in helping learning institutions and teaching job-seekers. If

    you do not want to get scammed by bogus teaching agencies, provided

    here are tips that can surely help.

    In the UK, there is such a thing as the Department for Educations

    Quality Mark. This special mark is given to teaching agencies that

    uphold the highest quality of standards in supplying skillfully competent

    teachers to their client schools, as well as help new teachers find theteaching positions that are perfectly suitable to their academic

    credentials and other requirements. This leads to the first tip which is

    to check if the agency has accreditation.

    If youre coming from abroad, its best if the agency has a program that

    will help you before your arrival, hence the second tip. Reputable

    teaching agencies help in their teachers visa concerns, living

    arrangements and even in opening bank accounts. If your agency hasprovision for all these things then youre in good hands.

    Third tip is to make sure that the agency knows your specific

    requirements for the teaching jobs that you want. Its rarely a good

    sign if the agency informs you that it lined you up for a position thats

    not at all what you have in mind. Basically what this means is that, its

    more intent on serving its own interest instead of yours. Though its

    great to have a job right away, you dont want to be forced into asituation that may compromise you as a professional.

    Fourth tip is to conduct a background check on the agencys client

    schools. The number of schools in its listing is not a solid indication that

    the agencys really good, but it will be an advantage to you if you know

    its breadth because it can determine the rate of success the agency

    may have in finding the appropriate teaching job for you. Also, make

    the Internet your friend; its the best source of performance reviews

    from previous clients. You dont need to just take the agencys word

    for it because naturally its desire is to draw more clients to their

    business. Through the World Wide Web, you can easily check if all the

    agencys claims are true.
