How does it work?

Schools create casual booking opportunities through their own Tap for Teacher portal and release the dates along with any further information.

As a teacher, you will receive a notification electronically that an opportunity is available at the school for casual work which you can either Accept or Decline. Teachers can also set their profiles in Tap for Teacher to identify specific schools they want to be approached by as well as identifying their subjects of expertise (ie. Mathematics, English etc).
