Thank you for your comment. It really means a lot x

Glad it was helpful! ❤️❤️

Hi, I am not sure about visas required from abroad. The PGDE requires you to have another year where you teach your own class for the year but have a mentor (there is a flexible route which means that you have to find your own placement and mentor and it requires you to complete 190 hours over 3 years I think. Definitely visit www.gtcs.org.uk/knowledge-base/articles/ways-to-complete-probation-through-the-flexible-route to find out more about it though. I also do not think that the pgde is funded for international students- not sure if that’s what you were asking. The job situation is quite challenging in some areas but they are looking for teachers in more remote areas I believe.

No I’m sorry I don’t x

Thank you for your kind comment-it’s one of the main reasons I have the channel- just to try and help and give ideas ❤️

Fingers crossed you will gain confidence with good colleagues should you return x

Thank you, I glad you enjoyed it.

Love a secret rubbish!!! 😍😍

Brilliant! Thank you for commenting! Let me know if there’s anything else you’d like to know

It would be great to hear your top tips for probationers. I’ve just started as a probationer so any advice is appreciated!

😂😂😂

Amazing!! Watch this space! I’m now in a place I’m hoping I can do more videos now that might help you specifically 🙏🏻🙏🏻

@@thescottishhousewife3670 fantastic, already looking forward to it.

Please let me know how you get on. I’m sorry she’s having a hard time just now xx

I hope you had a good interview and managed to get a place! Good luck ❤️

Thank you so much x

I only saw this message now- please reach out to me on Instagram and I can hopefully help 🙏🏻

I’m so sorry- I have just seen this! The difference between teaching children and older children (as I don’t have experience teaching adults per se) is that adults will likely have experience…this counts for a lot, experience on how to interact, how to behave, how to learn, how to ask questions, knowledge of personal space, turn taking, sharing, working as a team, working individually and so much more that children don’t. So as well as the teaching element there’s all of these other things to take into account. Figuring out how to teach children individually and collectively is one of the most challenging parts of this job. Hope that helps x

@@thescottishhousewife3670 Hi, Thanks for that. That absolutely makes sense and is a perfect answer. I watched your videos and finally got two offers for PGDE primary teaching this year. Thanks for your help and wanted to say that your videos and tips are amazing. x

That is so amazing!! Well done!!! Thank you so much for your kind comments x

Thank you 😊

What a wonderful and kind thing to say!!! Thank you so much! It’s so appreciated! Congratulations on your place at uni xx

I went in for about 8 months, but I’m think the more experience you can get, the better. That being said don’t let the “lack” of experience put you off. It gives you a good understanding of what’s involved and let’s you know what is for you and where you think you can help/improve x

@@thescottishhousewife3670 thank you❤

It was actually so bad!! Had to RESIST the urge 😂😂😂

BTW it’s Richie

Thank you so much ❤️❤️

Thanks!!! ❤️❤️ unfortunately we can’t do any droning due to all the different laws and licensing 😫😫

Hi, so sorry- it’s been a while since I checked. Congratulations 🎉 glad to have helped!! There was a graduation, in July I think 💭

@@thescottishhousewife3670 thanks so much. i'm unable to make my undergrad graduation ceremony this summer so it's nice to know i should have one in 2023 instead 😁

What are you thinking, what about it? The challenge of ensure all children are ready to learn? Or differentiation or behaviour management? Either way I’m happy to do a video on it. ❤️❤️

Awww thank you so much!! So kind!!!

😮😮

Amazing!! Thank you- good luck xx

No 🙈🙈🙈 well...I have, I regularly take lunches and breaks and I don’t often have 12 hour days- I try hard to leave school stuff at school- but over lockdown...I, along with many others were working 16 hour days again 🙈🙈 but since being back there’s more happy medium xx

I can be very much the same now- but I’m trying to create and build new resources- I will get to the stage where I will be reusing these and spending a lot less time. This was my experience because I wanted to make everything as engaging as possible (still do) but I think when you are working off someone else’s schedule (mentor teacher) that can pose it’s own issues too. So that can make things more complicated. I honestly think I go all out all the time because I love seeing the kids faces when they’re truly in the learning and loving it. I think I manage my time more efficiently now by looking at resources I already have (either me or in the school) and then adapting the lesson to the best way I can ❤️❤️

@@thescottishhousewife3670 Aw you are such an inspiration! It would be fab if you could go into further detail in a future video about the resources you've made, why and how you have used them xx

@@clairer9051 great suggestion!! I did do a few videos with a few resources that may help... you might find these two will and my Instagram too- I put things up on there too :) th-cam.com/video/rLy2rduqHEI/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/wPCTFZwNeho/w-d-xo.html

Do what you can, when you can- and being a mum makes you so much better at multitasking so actually when you think the “stress” is to come- you’re already all over that stuff!! Just do little and often and be REALLY kind to yourself xx

@@thescottishhousewife3670 Thanks! I've ordered the books you recommended in an earlier vid so they should keep me busy :) x

Thank you so much! I’ve just seen this comment sorry x

Thanks Steven 😊😊

Wow!! Thank you so so much!!! Such lovely kind words!! Thank you so much! Good luck! I hope it all goes well! ❤️❤️

Hi Ricardo, I know it can be so frustrating, I think a lot of people are very hard on themselves because they can’t remember. I try to think about different ways to help children remember, through colours, Songs, anything! I’m not an expert but I really try hard to think of ways to help my pupils. My heart goes out to you, I hope you get the support you need 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Awesome! Let me know how you go x

Awww thank you so much ❤️❤️ I hope you find them useful

Thank you so much! I did the PGDE (Scotland) ❤️❤️

Let me have a look and see what I can do x

Rebecca- do you want to message me through Instagram and I can message you my personal statement, it may (or may not help) xx
