Welcome to the Teacher Exchange Program - Western Australia
Teacher Exchange is a unique professional learning opportunity for an experienced teacher to further develop teaching skills
by teaching interstate or overseas 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 with five years teaching experience. Participants
exchange teaching assignments and arrange for their own personal accommodation arrangement with interstate or overseas teachers
for a period of one school year, generally beginning in January or July.
As an exchange teacher, you will be an ambassador for Western Australian public 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.
