Hi all! Congrats to those who got offered and finger crossed for those who r still waiting...
I have been reading up alot on NIE intakes forum etc and I have some questions! Would greatly appreciate any kind of response thank youu!!
1) It seems like it takes quite some time for MOE to process applications.. Was wondering if its possible for me to apply during the May-June 2019 window, and lets say i get offered, to request for sch stint to start in Dec 2020 (due to current job bond). Or is it likely that they will not allow me to defer so no point for me to apply during this window. (Assuming i will inform them immd once i get my offer letter/if they do ask about my current job bond etc)
Cos im worried about the long wait if i dont start applying early... Like if i wait till May 2020 to apply for Dec 2020 school stint, if i fail, i have to wait for 1 year later's intake. But if i fail the current May 2019 interview, i can try again in May 2020 for starting in Dec 2020.
So basically i can only start my school stint in dec 2020, if i apply in may 2019 window and get offered, will i be allowed to request for defer?
2) Does anyone have any idea how many people do they take in every window? I read somewhere that said 25+, and that seeems kinda little given the stiff competition...
3) What is a good way to answer questions regarding: how would u manage a class of rowdy kids? What if they dont do their hw, how do u manage them?
4) I unds that non-teaching related duties include admin work like updating progress report, meetings, cca, maybe planning events once in awhile etc (Is that anything i have left out?)
5) Any current teachers/contract teachers who can share their experience in their teaching journey? (Maybe like what to look out for to not burn out easily?)
Thanks for all your kind response!!
