A Primary School teach must be an individual that has grown up with an ever-present desire to impart knowledge. It is believed that great teachers are born and not made.

Following a set curriculum for children from the age of around four to five until the age of approximately twelve, a primary school teacher would ordinarily be employed via a government body such as the Australian Board of Studies.

Responsibilities & Skills

Dealing will young minds you are often the person who a child or children will spend the majority of their day. With that level of influence comes responsibility.

Planning lessons and delivering those lessons with skill, excitement and confidence will lead to great success in the primary education arena. The ability to deliver lessons in a helpful, constructive, and sometimes insightful way is dependent on the personal skills of the teacher. Text books are one thing but practical lessons, and the ability to engage students can ensure a memorable experience.

Dealing with younger children requires a certain amount of empathy to each child's differing needs, as well as an overall confidence and imposing nature to manage a class of, at times, unruly young tearaways.
