PE Teaching at Newie Uni (2 Viewers)

[s_kisses]

a big fat ditto to that!

It's so so rewarding when my work kids achieve even the smallest little milestones.. they're so proud of themselves and that makes me proud of them! And thats a good feeling!

exactly! atm we're teaching primary school kids pe, when they learn a new skill properly they get so excited bout it and its so nice to see what you've taught them and what they've achieved

i couldnt bare sitting at an office desk all day, i need to be interacting with people no matter what age and seeing the impact that i have on students. learning to be a teacher is awesome!!

 

[PrincessSJ]

the sport in schools program s_kisses??

how awesome is that??
but they charge the kids to do it.. so its not as accessible for children from lower socio-economic areas

 

[s_kisses]

yeah so the primary school teachers dont have to do it, they get freaked out by the thought of teaching pe cause they don't cover it in their uni courses so thats where we come in, its great experience. we do it as an 'introduction' to teaching pe. soon we start pracs at secondary schools, teaching actual health and pd theory etc. can u imagine doing sex ed ha!

If I could be bothered, I'd yell at you

I think it's ironic that your rebuttal to my comment that you're all lazy bludgers, is you being too lazy to answer.

ridiculously highly paid academic staff

One tutor told us he got paid $80 for the hour.

@ rific.. we really shouldn't be laughing at any teachers and the little work they do... teaching as a profession is scrutinized enough!

Yeah, but I was marking at the time, and didn't feel like typing out a more 'professional' response.

"and the little work they do" - too funny.

PrincessSJ i see in ur sig ur also doing teaching... as a minority teachers are caring people dare i say esp. pe students because of the nature of what they study. i dont think anyone doing my course is arrogant they genuinely want to be there learning about teaching kids how to be healthy and active etc, ppl dont realise how important it actually is..
and to anyone thinking of studying anything to do with pe or teaching, go 4 it!

thats exactly y i want 2 be a PE teacher...its all about helping kids develop into the best peoplethey can be.

all this stuff about them all being arrogant is a bit off putting but all the PE teachers i know, even the ones who only can outta newie uni last yr r great people and great teachers.

There's arrogant bludgers in every course. Teaching is no exception to this rule because of its relatively low UAI requirement.

mate, PE teaching requires a UAI of 81.60, and i dunno about u, but from where i come from, thats not so relativlely low...im aiming for an 85 so im asured a spot.

i can asure u that i am not a bludger and that ill work my arse off to get the mark i deserve so i can become a fantastic and ispire the kids i teach (just as my PE teachers have done).

so dont say that 81.6 is a "relatively low UAI requirement", cos obviously we arnt all blessed with ur superior intellect and therefore have 2 work damn hard 2 where we want to get 2.

I'm just used to all the high mark courses. I've always thought 80's were a low uai. My course is below that and I still think it's easy to get into. Mainly because I hardly worked at all during the HSC and got into the course I wanted.

If you think teaching is for you, fantastic, sign up, you'll know for sure after your first prac, and we really do need more teachers entering the profession. You really shouldn't be listening to anything anyone says, apart from me that is, most people here are getting a little tired from all the exams and study they're supposed to be doing, so you can safely disregard just about everything that has been said, especially about the arrogance - I reckon most new teachers are too busy to be arrogant, and saying that, most teachers I've met genuinely want to help the students, which can be a difficult position for the truly arrogant. Don't be put off, if you want to teach, teach.

@ Jumb, many people do consider 80's as low, I can only assume it's a social mechanism to forget everything about the decade of the same name, but considering the numbers of students that apply for courses and the amount that actually get in, 80's are fairly reasonable.

What a waste of a year.

 

[mizz_smee]

i dont think that 80 is low... in my school only about 10 people out of 300 got over 80

yes my school was crap.

 

[Cyph]

What did you get, jumb?

 

[mrbassman]

What a waste of a year.

would be the same as a year off

jenni ur perfect for teaching then, go for it
ppl dont realise how much of an impact some pe teachers have on students.. its the whole reason i chose to study at uni. i care about all aspects of my health and want to transfer it to kids so they grow up happy healthy and in control.

 

[PrincessSJ]
