A great teacher doesn't just deliver the information required from the curriculum. A great teacher can motivate students to read, inspire a passion for languages, make math fun, or turn history lessons into exciting adventures into the past. These days a teacher's role extends outside of the classroom and into the school community, building relationships with their students and ensuring there's a supportive school environment to help them thrive. If you think you have the qualities to help all kinds of children be inspired to learn and help them to do well, you might like to find out how to become a Teacher in Australia.
