What types of teachers are you looking for?
We look for a variety of teachers to advise us. The group has to be representative of as many primary school teachers as possible, including new teachers and veterans; teachers in high and low socio-economic areas; teachers in the suburbs, cities and small towns; and teachers who order frequently and those who order infrequently. We also seek ethnic diversity and a range of teaching styles.
What are a Teacher Advisor’s responsibilities?
-
Teacher Advisors MUST come to the inaugural Teacher Advisors Meeting to be held in August 2009 at Scholastic head office on the NSW Central Coast. Scholastic will pay all expenses for this trip.
- They provide feedback on a variety of subjects during the meeting.
- They allow Scholastic Book Clubs representatives to visit their classrooms at a convenient time during the year they serve.
- They provide advice and opinions (usually by email, but sometimes by phone) approximately twice each month during the year.
How do I become a Teacher Advisor?
Applications for our 2009/2010 Teacher Advisory Panel are now CLOSED.
We are currently reviewing all applications and will notify successful applicants by the end of August. As you will understand, only a limited number of teachers are chosen to represent the entire teaching population — so if you are not selected this year, please apply again next year!
How many Teacher Advisors will there be?

What’s in it for me?
As a Teacher Advisor, you will receive an all-expenses-paid working trip to Scholastic head office (during 2009) where you will meet with Book Clubs staff and provide input on many of the decisions we make. You’ll be helping teachers and students across Australia with your advice and opinions. While there you will receive professional development in the form of expert advice on topics such as literacy, classroom management and the latest books for children. You will return to your classroom with over $250 worth of teaching resources.
What are the requirements to become a Teacher Advisor?
We are looking for teachers who are Book Clubs customers and who teach Pre-K through to Year 6. Ideal candidates will be open-minded and will not be shy about expressing their opinions.
