While teachers are needed over the whole
range of school subjects, the key learning areas that have the
greatest opportunities for employment for secondary teachers
are Technology; physical education; Languages other
than English (LOTE) especially French, Spanish and German;
science particularly physics and chemistry; and the arts,
particularly music. There is also continuing need for new teachers of mathematics and English as second language (ESL). In addition to classroom teachers, Primary teachers with qualifications in LOTE, physical education or music is much in demand.
Requirements to quality for employment

Before commencing any employment teachers will need to undertake a finger print, complete a pre-employment health declaration and possibly undergo a pre-employment medical assessment.
Assessment of qualifications
Before a
teacher presenting with interstate or overseas qualifications
can be considered for employment as a teacher in the United
States he/she must have evaluated their transcript by using
any one of several agencies in the United
States. Information about World Education services can be
obtained by visiting their site at http://www.wes.org. However it is important that you verify whether the State/School board of your choice will recognize their services, since some schools will recognize only certain agencies.
