Secondary teachers
Background
In 2000, 164 countries committed to achieving Education for All by 2015. As access to education is improving, enrolment figures are rising fast, and developing communities now need qualified teachers to deliver quality education.
Secondary teacher roles
We have a limited number of roles working alongside teachers in the classroom, developing and promoting child-centred learning methodologies in schools. Observing teachers and feeding back, you will also help them to develop materials using local resources. You’ll work with teachers in schools, at primary/lower secondary level, to improve education programmes by increasing the quality of education and teaching methods. You could be working in countries like Thailand, Nepal, China and Ghana, Rwanda and Ethiopia.
Experience required
For roles working alongside student and in-service teachers of maths or science you'll need at least 3-5 years' experience in maths and science. We also have generic teacher training roles for geography and history teachers with at least 5 years' experience.
Roles are longer term, ranging from one to two years.
Support
In return, we'll give you comprehensive financial, personal and professional support. We'll provide you with extensive training before your placement, and our financial package includes a living allowance, return flights, accommodation, insurance and more. When you return to your home count, we'll help you to resettle and many of our returned volunteers stay involved with us long after their placement ends.
