 Introduction to Teacher Exchange
THE 2010 TEACHER EXCHANGE PROGRAM IS NOW CLOSED.
Applications for the 2011 Teacher Exchange Program will open in September 2009. (Date to be confirmed). For further information please contact the Teacher Exchange Coordinator.
Teacher Exchange is an opportunity for an experienced teacher to further develop teaching skills by practising in a different teaching experience in a new environment. Many exchange teachers find that a year in another system is an enormous boost to their effectiveness and enthusiasm as a teacher.
This program is available to full-time permanent teachers in Western Australia. Participants exchange teaching assignments and arrange for their own personal accommodation arrangement with overseas and interstate teachers for a period of either six months or one school calendar year, generally beginning in January.
As an exchange teacher, you will be an ambassador for Western Australian public sector schools. The main objectives for participating in a teacher exchange is to have the opportunity to compare and learn about different education systems, to exchange ideas and knowledge, and to contribute to the professional development of yourself and your teaching colleagues.
