UK Teaching Agencies Likely To Create Own Standards After Abolishment Of
Quality Mark
Making headlines recently were all the newsabout the abolishment of the UK teaching
industrys Quality Mark. A lot of organisations
were against it and openly expressed their
concern over the impact of this move on the
quality of supply teachers who will find
placement in schools throughout the country.
Many believe that without the Quality Mark,
there will be some serious negative effects on
the quality of education in learning institutionsas well as the safety of students.
The Quality Mark was a joint initiative of the Recruitment and Employment Confederation and
the Department for Education. It took effect over ten years ago and it established minimum
standards for UK teaching agencies as well as the local authorities for the recruitment process
(like their procedures for interviews and vetting placing staff in schools, et cetera) of supply
teachers and even other school employees.
Theres a move to develop a new audit scheme, but currently, no replacement scheme has
been determined yet even after the dialogue held early April 2013, and this worries concernedgroups and parents even more. According to Becca Morgan, the director of one of Yorks supply
agencies, It is of great concern to me that there is no planned replacement scheme and that
this retrograde step leaves the teaching industry and children in our schools vulnerable and at
the mercy of unscrupulous cowboy businesses. Groups of parents seconded Morgan.
But the present situation among teaching agencies is not that worrisome. In the meantime, a
lot of them are inclined to follow the former set of standards until they can design their own to
implement. There also some UK teaching agencies that see this change as a positive
opportunity for them to upgrade and design their own qualification standards, not only to
maintain the quality of teachers they supply to the countrys schools, but also to further
improve it. Its bound to be a lot of work, but these agencies are committed to maintain the
trust their client schools have in their ability to supply them with teachers who have good moral
character and impressive credentials. Check out more about thishere.

Working In LondonThe Anglophiles Dream
Legions of tourists flock to London each year to see some
of the UKs most remarkable landmarks. It is one of themost important cities in the world, and its atmosphere of a
bustling, cosmopolitan metropolis is definitely invigorating.
It has everything from historical structures and gorgeous
parks to the worlds best in theatre and shopping. If you
think having daily access to all of Londons wonderful
attractions is nothing short of ideal, then working in
London may just be the ticket for you to have that
privilege.
If you work in London, you can go visit the tower of London
anytime you want to. If youre a fan of British monarchy,
you can closely follow the lives and loves of the Windsors.
If you get a thrill out of amazing views, the London Eye will have a frequent customer out of
you. And then, of course, there are the other usual main attractions such as Westminster
Abbey, Big Ben, Hyde Park, etc. You can shop at Harrods and eat the British staples such as fish
and chips or bangers and mash, etc. Of course, if you want to adopt the ways of a true blue
Londoner, youll learn to immerse yourself in curry.
The full-fledged Anglophile will not run short of fun things to do in London as well as inneighbouring locales. Practically everything holds a fascination, be it something as mundane as
a double-decker bus or something totally awe-inspiring such as the burial site of Geoffrey
Chaucer (to classic literature buffs anyway). Stratford-on-Avon is also quite near, of course, for
lifelong devotees of The Bard. You can definitely get your regular dose of Shakespeare living in
London.
Certainly, the true lover of English culture will be sure to revel in things that are quintessentially
English, such as a proper tea or a game of cricket. Without a doubt, people from other
countries will not run out of thrilling experiences and encounters while staying in the city. Lets
not even get into all the Harry Potter mania or anything else in London that has beencelebrated by pop culture.Click herefor more information.
There are definitely many options for working in London. There are part-time, temporary, and
full-time opportunities available in most sectors, but education is definitely one of the most
popular fields that foreigners who want to work in London have the best chance in. This means,
of course, that theyre trained and certified in the profession to qualify for teaching jobs. For

access to great posts, its best for them to sign up with an established and reputable

School Teacher Jobs: Moulding Young Minds And Preparing Them For A Bright
Future
Nowadays, most people go for choices that arenot only practical but beneficial as well. They
wisely pursue opportunities that will enrich their
stock of knowledge and improve their chances
of succeeding at the kind of career and life
theyve chosen for themselves. For many,
schools are their starting point for achieving
their goals. There, they can hone their skills,
enhance their aptitude, gain useful learning, etc.
For this reason, teaching is easily one of themost important professions that you can get
into.
School teacher jobs arent mere positions to be filled; they involve something more - the
chance and privilege to be able to shape young people into citizens who behave with good
conduct, live with joy, and contribute positively to society. It goes without saying that teachers
have to be a cut above the average masses. They may look quite ordinary, but theyre doing
vital work, hence they must possess not only training and technical knowledge, but qualities of
an exemplary human being as well. Genuine care for the lives of their students is a good trait to
begin with. Patience is also definitely a virtue that should be apparent in them. Besides these,
efficacy as a positive influence is also paramount. Certainly, they need not be paragons of
virtue, but they do have to be very conscious of their behaviour.Visit this siteto know more.
These days, we often hear of teachers who commit such unspeakable indiscretions, if not
outright crimes, that school administrators are extra careful about the hiring process. Most of
the time, schools choose to work with high quality teacher recruitment agencies to spare
themselves the hassle of screening a multitude of applicants. Definitely, the quality and
credibility of schoolteachers should be redeemed, and making sure that only the right
professionals are hired to work with young people is the way to do it. Through the collaborationof the schools administration and the recruitment people, correct hiring can be guaranteed.
After all, teaching is not the only responsibility of a school teacher. Jobs that have you in close
association with children require you to think beyond todays lessons. Youre moulding minds,
boosting self-esteem and confidence, and setting yourself as an example whether you like it or
not. You need to be inspiring and motivational. Its a tough job, but the fulfilment it brings is

incomparable. One day, you can look at future leaders and point out, I was their teacher.
Youll know that your lifes work was meaningful in so many more ways than you could have
imagined.

Being Hired For High Quality Teaching Jobs
There arent many careers as noble as those in
education; after all, how learned members ofthe next generation turn out to be is in a
teachers hands. Thats definitely no trifling
matter. If youre determined to answer this
particular calling in life, you have to make sure
that you put yourself through the proper
training and qualification process. As soon as
youve accomplished this, you can then start
seeking teaching jobs.
Many people have the misguided notion that teaching is boring. They associate it too much
with their experience in school that they refuse to give it a chance. Also, the common
misconception that teachers are poorly paid contribute to their aversion to the idea of going
into teaching. But no matter. In any case, teaching jobs should definitely fall upon individuals of
a higher mind, and not upon those who do not have the depth to understand the noble nature
of an educators work.
To set the record straight, however, teaching makes an excellent career choice. It involves a
setup that is so unique that you have to be certified to work in it. A teachers job is both
inspiring and influential. Thats a great deal of power and privilege to have, but as aSpiderman movie quote goes, With great power comes great responsibility. For this reason,
not just anybody can be a teacher.
While it may be true in some cases that teachers are underpaid, this is not always the case.
Understandably, a teachers salary is largely based on the status and standard of the institution
that gives it. The more private and exclusive the school is, the better paid the teachers are. You
can also keep in mind that an academic year has scheduled long breaks; teachers naturally get
to take the time off along with their students. Getting paid in full for weeks of zero to minimal
work is not a shabby deal at all. If you want to know more about this,click here.
Another perk that comes with being in the field of education is the opportunity to travel. With
teaching vacancies abroad in abundance, trained and qualified teachers can have their pick of
destination. In the case of teachers coming from a third world country, the pay is so insanely
higher that many of them really opt to leave their motherland for greener pastures. As for
those coming from developed countries, they can always count on openings from international
schools and the like as the nature of the faculty of these institutions is pretty much transient.

Many times, teachers dont stay permanently, leaving their posts vacant for the next
adventurous educator to take over.
Of course, it goes without saying that while the opportunities are aplenty, teachers still need to
be resourceful and assertive about their goals to find great teaching jobs. For this, they can sign
up with a teaching agency that can get them hired at a good school.

The London Teacher: Jobs And How To Land Your First Teaching Assignment
It is rarely easy getting your first job as a
teacher, especially in the very competitiveLondon area. Even with exemplary credentials
and striking references, you will still need to do
a bit of work in order to secure that ideal
teaching post in your preferred London school.
Below are just a few recommended approaches
to take that may help you win over the
competition and land your first teaching
assignment.
Mind your application. Try to tailor your application to the school because this will persuade
the job screening committee, the human resources department, or the school principal to file
your CV under consideration. Tailoring your CV for London teacher jobs will mean responding to
the selection criteria point-by-point, and detailing just exactly how your background or
educational philosophy meets each requirement.
You will also want to ensure that your application is spotless and free of errors. As a teacher,
you will naturally be expected to submit an immaculately composed CV. One tiny mistake can
land your application in the bin. So do not give the school any reason to not interview you. Ask
a friend or someone who is skilled at proofreading to look over your application before you
send it.
Check your digital footprint. Todays employers will look you up on the World Wide Web. From
the photos and posts on your social medial pages to any online results that pop up with your
name attached to it, hiring committees want to know if you have had a positive online life, so
far. So before you send your application, make sure that your digital footprint will not turn
away some of the best schools with vacancies in London. More about this at thiswebsite.
Know more about the school. It pays to know about the school you have sent your application
to because it gives you data you can use during the interview. This is part of your preparation
for the interview as well as an essential factor to tailoring your application. When you are
keenly aware of current issues that concern the school and know a great deal about their
educational philosophy, you will be able to persuade the screening committee that you have
what it takes to work at their school.

Be calm and maintain eye contact even at a panel interview. It can be nerve-racking to be
interviewed by a panel because you never know where to look. But keep calm and try to
address your answers to the person who asked you the question. Maintain eye contact with
that person until you finish the main points of your answer and then move your attention to
the other members of the panel who are not making notes. When you come right to the end of
your answer, return to the person who asked you the question. It is the ideal approach to
emphasizing your point and a remarkable demonstration to a panel that you are able to speak
well, even as a first time teacher.
