It took me a while before I understood what classes exactly I would need to take in order to be able to teach. It's called GPB and can be done as part of the "adult education classes", two half days a week for instance.
CVO Mechelen
Then it took me a little longer to figure out which classes I can give. After getting in touch with someone from KIHK, it became clearer - I can give a bunch of classes: biology, fysics, chemistry, .... Since I have a masters degree, I can give almost everything: ten minste master + BPB
But the website where I found this information was still not very clear to me so I got in touch with both schools here in Keerbergen I was interested in:
1) The Atheneum in Keerbergen (grade 3, 4, 5 and 6)) didn't have time to meet with me at this point, they only meet with new candidates in June. Too far away...
2) The Middleschool in Keerbergen (grade 1 and 2) wanted to meet me right away. I talked to the director for an hour and a half but was very disappointed when I left. My masters degree is too high to teach middleschool. Apparently we are not allowed to teach those first two grades because they want to protect the job of the "regular teachers". According to the director, a kindergarten teacher would be allowed to teach math in first grade, but I, although much better qualified, can not.
Big bummer.
So that was the end of my short lived "teaching job hunt".....
