Currently in my 4th year of teaching- so refreshing to see someone who hasn't let this job take over their life. Glad you're still blogging/making videos. Not long until half term! :)
Thats fantastic Shaizana! And so reassuring to hear too, any work life balance tips would be appreciated haha (although I'm quickly learning that it's all about routines and learning when to say enough is enough for me, despite what other teachers are managing to do, comparison is the thief of all joys right? xD0
Hey! This video was so lovely, I'm just finishing my PGCE, I've got 2 weeks left and totally agree with you, what a stressful year it's been! Really nervous to start in sept 😭 xx
Hello Salma! Congratulations on finishing up, it is such an achievement to get to the end - harder than my degree by far lol! And don't be nervous, you'll be absolutely fine, which year group will you be teaching in September? X
The Blushing Giraffe aww thank you!💕 definitely, I do hope NQT year isn't as challenging😞 I'm not sure which year group il be teaching yet although I did give my reference (yr 3/4), i think theyl let me know when I attend for a transition day in a few weeks. I'm currently in year 6 and was in yr 3 for my last placement. I definitely prefer year 3! Years 6s far too mouthy for me haha xx
I have to say I had a lil chat with some year 3s the other day and they were such a delight! Definitely don't want to be stuck in Year 6 forever, but I'm also relieved I get another year here cause it's what I know haha. Let me know if you need any help or just a chat with a fellow teacher! X
The Blushing Giraffe aw yeah I can imagine you doing a smashing job! So, I've found out the other day I'll be in year 6 for my nqt year starting from Sept! I'm super nervous and anxious about this now😕 wasn't really me preference to be in year 6 particularly due to my current poor experience in year 6 in my placement school, I really hope it's not half as bad. Have you got any tips for me starting my NQT year from sept? Would be great to get some tips and resource/website advice? (Btw, so sorry for the long essay, feel free to ask for my email or my number!). Thank you! Xxx :)
Will be filming several videos for NQTs don't worry hun I've got your back! And yes I'l link reources etc. What I'll say for now is try to keep an open mind, year 6 are super challenging but its also incredibly rewarding seeing them grow so much and be ready to leave primary, plus once you've done yesr 6 you can do any year! So many teachers are put off by it, but it's a huge compliment to your performance already that you have been put in year 6, you will be awesome! X
As salam aleykum ! Îm so happy I found your video, this is so helpful as I’m new in UK and wanting to become a teacher here Thank you sister, I subscribe 😘
i just stumbled on your channel and i love this video. i’m currently on my pgce year at ucl and i know what you mean about there not being lots of videos about it. when i vlog it’s mostly about going out etc. i’m thinking of doing a similar series about my experience etc but i don’t know! if you’re interested i vlog and all my videos are either two minutes or under. defo a new subscriber xx
Thanks girl! Ahhh you totally should! I think this is such a small area of youtube and although my videos are primarily about beauty I love this little side because its something that I'm so passionate about, and its also great to share experiences ^_^ ahh of course I'll check it out and subscribe back ❤️
yes I really want to especially cos right now I'm on placement so I'm literally living through out - folder work is a nightmare thats what I'm going to be doing today *cry* how are you finding your class this year :) xx
Thanks sister for the clear explanations. It helps me to see what is like doing the pgce. I am new in UK and was looking for what route to take with my french bachelor in education and social work. You gave me a good sight of one of the routes am thinking about. Can I ask you how much you paid for the year? And when do you pay it (one shot or gradually)? Thanks so much.
Hi! The first one was titled 'reflecting on practice' and literally it was a thorough look at an aspect of my teaching practice at that point in time and a literature review around it and the second one was called 'developing professional enquiry skills' and this was pretty open to what you wanted to do. Personally I decided to do a case study on a teacher in my school, focusing on a certain aspect of her teaching and then using literature to analyse the pros and cons of that method and how it would end up impacting my future practice. I hope this helps :)
Salam sis. I am considering doing the PGCE this year, however, the only thing i'm worried about is the new subject that they will be adding to the curriculum in 2020 called RSE, or Relationship and Sex Education. Is every teacher expected to teach this subject or can one opt out of teaching it? what do you know about it?
Wasalaam sis, there’s already an RSE expectation within the national curriculum, which is more about teaching children about their body, safe touches, unsafe touches and in year 6 it goes into a bit more detail - but parents are invited to come in and watch the video first, and they are more than welcome to withdraw their child
Salaam, did you do psychology for your undergrad degree? if so could you do a video on it please? I'm planning to do a psychology degree and then PGCE after, it would be very helpful!
Wasalaam I did indeed! I've actually got a blog post on it here: www.theblushinggiraffe.com/2015/03/march-update-my-university-course.html which you can check out, hopefully you'll find it useful ^_^
Awwh Maria I am SO happy to hear that! I wish you the best of success and if you need anything please don't hesitate to contact me ^_^ Also I want to film more teaching/training videos, so if you have any suggestions let me know X
The Blushing Giraffe I think you've covered mostly everything erm I'd say any tips for trainees maybe. I'm looking at ideas for a lesson plan for a year 4 class atm
Thankyou! No I didn't I'm lucky to live in an area where there were lots of jobs available and we could afford to be really picky, so I didn't apply until I found a school which matched a lot of my own ethos...soooo important!
You said you could become a teacher without doing a pgce but how? I'm not from the UK but would like to work there that's why I'm asking and don't know much about how to do it 😁
You can absolutely work part time on the weekends and maybe even a few evenings a week but it won’t be easy. There was one lady in our training cohort who juggled the course with two part time jobs, she managed it but spent the whole year extremely stressed - best of luck.
Class timings are typically 8:30-3:15 and then you’ll typically by in school working/planning/meetings/marking for 2 hours after that and you’ll always have some work to get on with at home too...the workload is a lot for training and for teaching in general, especially the first couple of years
Hey, can you give me an idea to what i can talk about, i have to teach a skill but im not really sure what i can teach confidently for 5-7 minutes. Let me know ASAP, i would really appreciate it
I'm so sorry hun I can't quite remember, since I'm mainly a beauty blogger I own so many and rotate them a lot too! Whichever one it was, it'll probably be somewhere on my blog: www.theblushinggiraffe.com x
AoA I did undergrad from Pakistan...currently doing post-grad from University of Glasgow. I am interested i teaching here in UK after post-grad. I do not keep any institutional experience of teaching. what will be the right route to enter primary teaching in my situation. It will be so kind if you can guide me.
Assalamualaiqum. Actually I want to take the PGCE course but I don't know how start it and Am I applicable for it. I'm from Bangladesh, I have completed my BBA & MBA. Please suggest me a route... Thank you.
Walaykumsalaam - your best bet is to contact local universities and check with them if those are qualifications they allow, or research and find you local training schools that do the school direct PGCE course.

What type of titles of the assignments did you get asked? Thanks!

This video was so helpful and informative your so sweet 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
You're the best❤️ thankyou my lovely xxx
Thanks for video. How I find my Training providers in UCAS application for School Direct PGCE?
No problem - search on the UCAS teaching site, they should have a location option.
You are so cute Allahouma barek ♥️ and the video was super-helpful! Thanks so much for sharing
Awh you’re so lovely! I’m glad you found it helpful and thank you for taking the time to leave a comment 😘♥️
Thanks so much for this video!!! so informative
You're most welcome lovely! X
Still wondering how you're so amazing! Been meaning to watch your videos for ages and I'm so so sooo proud of you ❤️❤️❤️
You're my fave 😭❤️
Heyyy.... quick question what time did you start and leave approx when you were doing SCITT and what year group x
Hi I did my SCITT with year 6 and timings were 7:50-5:00 most days, we finished at 4:00 on a Friday but would sometimes stay till 6pm xxx

The Blushing Giraffe 🔸 Assalamulkum sis🌷 So is it obligatory for EVERY teacher to teach RSE? Can we teachers opt out?
Hi I am a teacher as well.. Thanks for sharing
You’re most welcome ☺️

@@TheBlushingGiraffe Thank you!! :))
Thank you so helpful!
You’re very welcome lovely X
The Blushing Giraffe had a interview today and honestly it went amazing and your blog really helped and then this video! Keep it up
Awwh Maria I am SO happy to hear that! I wish you the best of success and if you need anything please don't hesitate to contact me ^_^ Also I want to film more teaching/training videos, so if you have any suggestions let me know X

Great video! :) did you apply to many jobs during you're PGCE?
Thankyou! No I didn't I'm lucky to live in an area where there were lots of jobs available and we could afford to be really picky, so I didn't apply until I found a school which matched a lot of my own ethos...soooo important!
You said you could become a teacher without doing a pgce but how? I'm not from the UK but would like to work there that's why I'm asking and don't know much about how to do it 😁
Check out this website: getintoteaching.education.gov.uk/explore-my-options/teacher-training-routes it should answer your questions ^_^
The Blushing Giraffe
I will :) thank you so much
How will be the training hours? Being a international student can i do part time jobs to support myself?
You can absolutely work part time on the weekends and maybe even a few evenings a week but it won’t be easy. There was one lady in our training cohort who juggled the course with two part time jobs, she managed it but spent the whole year extremely stressed - best of luck.
So you are saying unlike other courses if u are studying PGCE it will be tough for doing part time jobs? How is the class timming?
Is it 5 days a week.. and how many hours a day?
Class timings are typically 8:30-3:15 and then you’ll typically by in school working/planning/meetings/marking for 2 hours after that and you’ll always have some work to get on with at home too...the workload is a lot for training and for teaching in general, especially the first couple of years
@@TheBlushingGiraffe what in your opinion doing Masters In Education after that QTS..?
Hello, did you do school direct or SCITT. What are the differences between the two x
Also was your route with a salary?
SCITT, please watch my other teaching related videos for more info ☺️ I have a GRWM talking about the difference x
No salary sadly :(
Thank you for your information
Please can I know wich level of English make you go through PGCE
Thanks
No problem! Not sure what you mean though by level of English?
I mean do I need GCSE English and Math to apply for it
Thank you for you respond 🙂
Should we need a teaching experience before joining pgce?
Preferably yeah. Check out my blog for more teaching content: www.theblushinggiraffe.com
Hey, can you give me an idea to what i can talk about, i have to teach a skill but im not really sure what i can teach confidently for 5-7 minutes. Let me know ASAP, i would really appreciate it
Hey, is this primary or secondary?
@@TheBlushingGiraffe primary
I have completed Bachelor in Mathematics and B.Ed I have 8years experience in Teaching then Am I eligible for UK As a Mathematics Teacher?
Can I get into teaching without QTS?
No not the role of a full or part time classroom teacher because QTS = qualified teacher status xxx
Will I get a job after pgce without masters?
Yes!
Did u join it after graduation?
Yeah you have to have a degree before you can do your PGCE ‘post graduate certificate of education’
Wow...❤️Which foundation are you wearing dear???
I'm so sorry hun I can't quite remember, since I'm mainly a beauty blogger I own so many and rotate them a lot too! Whichever one it was, it'll probably be somewhere on my blog: www.theblushinggiraffe.com x
AoA
I did undergrad from Pakistan...currently doing post-grad from University of Glasgow. I am interested i teaching here in UK after post-grad. I do not keep any institutional experience of teaching. what will be the right route to enter primary teaching in my situation. It will be so kind if you can guide me.
Assalamualaiqum. Actually I want to take the PGCE course but I don't know how start it and Am I applicable for it.
I'm from Bangladesh, I have completed my BBA & MBA.
Please suggest me a route... Thank you.

Did you joined pgce? Please let me know how you applied
Is it compulsory to do masters after pgce?
Nope ☺️
You are wearing nice eye make up here.xx
Thankyou lovely x
Kindly let me where u did pgce from as I live in dubai
Have a look at getintoteaching.com ☺️
I need your personal contact
Nope. Anything you need to ask, you can ask on here. I don’t give my personal contact out to any random person on the internet.
