History Teacher

History Teachers work at high schools and middle schools across Australia. They teach a mix of local, state/territory, national, regional and world history — plus encourage students to research their own personal and family history.

As a History Teacher you’ll be developing lessons and activities in accordance with the Australian Curriculum (History). At the same time you’ll be maintaining discipline in the classroom, fostering the interest of your students, grading homework and exams, recording test results, liaising with parents, and maintaining scholastic records.
