Teaching Fellowships

If you would like to learn more about education systems in other countries, use that knowledge when you return to Victoria, and become a more adaptable educator, apply for a great development opportunity through the (VITF) Program.

Applications will be invited from teachers and principals in government and non government schools in Victoria for the 2013 program from Thursday, 18 August 2011.

Fellowships will be available with Canada, Denmark, UK, USA and some International Schools.

Special Opportunity for Language Teachers: Teachers of French, German and Italian may be interested in applying for Switzerland. Teachers of German may also apply for Germany, stating which part of Germany they would prefer.

Fellowships involve the direct exchange of teaching positions and accommodation and will be tenable for 12 months from January to December 2013.

Applicants must be in full-time on-going positions, have a minimum of four years tertiary education and five years teaching experience at the commencement of the exchange. Selection will be based on the applicant’s aptitude, experience and contribution to their profession.

All successful applicants will be required to undertake an area of research or investigation that is relevant to their school’s program and System’s priorities, and share this with educational colleagues upon their return to Victoria.
