The NSW government says those who sign up need to be taught more about dealing with student behaviour to prevent burnout after a few years in the classroom | JordsBaker
The NSW government is calling for a national, defence force-style recruitment campaign to tackle the country’s growing teacher shortage, and says those who sign up need to be taught more about dealing with student behaviour to prevent burnout after a few years in the classroom., the NSW government - on behalf of the state’s three school sectors - acknowledged a growing shortage of high school teachers, particularly in science and maths, and in the regions.
As part of its research, the review team has been conducting surveys of teachers, asking questions such as whether they think more senior jobs, a $20,000 scholarship or abolishing uni fees would make mid-career professionals more likely to retrain as teachers. When NSW did its own research into discipline for its behaviour strategy, “a lack of behaviour management skills in early career teachers was identified and it was suggested this lack of skills may be linked to their increased stress levels and job-related anxiety,” the submission said.
Mr Gavrielatos, whose union is lobbying for better pay and conditions for teachers ahead of wage negotiations later this year, said the NSW government was right to acknowledge problems such as teacher shortages and a decline in the attractiveness of the profession. The chief executive of the Association of Independent Schools NSW, Geoff Newcombe, said independent principals consulted about the submission supported calls for a national campaign to promote teaching as a well-respected profession.
