Looking for advice for becoming a secondary teacher with prior Bachelor's study
Hi all! just hoping someone has some advice on my specific situation, I'll try to be brief but looking for human answers as my googling hasn't found anything.
Me: can study online, in ACT or in Sydney
My Goal: become a qualified secondary school teacher (History & Drama) in the cheapest / most time efficient way possible
I currently have a niche Bachelors (Double - BA and Bachelor of Middle Eastern and Central Asian Studies). I am not sure that my past studies qualify me for my preferred teaching areas (History and Drama). I have completed in my undergrad:
- A Major in International Communication (basically linguistics + foreign language)
- A Major in Arabic (but I don't want to teach it)
- A Minor in English (not my fav subject but I've heard its good for employability?)
- A Major's worth of 'Middle Eastern Studies' coded courses - content wise this is history, politics, religion, culture etc - could any of this count under the History specialisation for NESA?
- one class each of History + Theatre coded courses
Help! What's my best path to becoming qualified to teach History and Drama? Do I have to do a whole nother Bachelors (BArts/BEd)? Has anyone experienced something like this before? Yes I feel silly for doing a non-practical degree but I was 17.
Any advice would be so so much appreciated. Thanks!
