Thank you so much for this, I'm starting my teacher training this September (age 41!!) to become a secondary art and design teacher, so glad I found your channel!
Oh wow! Good luck and hope the training goes well :) xx
Hi Ami, I'm 42 and having PGCE interview for Art and Design Secondary this Friday. Can you share some tips for the interview ?
This came at the perfect time! I start my PGCE next week, and it quelled some of the anxieties that had been building up, so thank you!
Aw you're welcome! Good luck next week x
How are you finding it until now?
How was it? I start mine next week!
This is great, thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos. I start my PGCE in a few weeks (at the ripe age of 44) in Secondary DT and I'm so excited. Now I feel much more prepared and aware what to think about more than I may have done before watching. Can't wait to watch your other videos. Thanks again :)
I started my PGCE this week and I can already see how useful the reading will be for writing the assignments. All of our sessions are online until Christmas due to covid but placements are supposedly going ahead as normal. Thank you for a great video - I’m going to get a little more organised with the readings
Thank you! Good luck!
Thank you for this! It's so important to reflect but I also admire your honesty and willingness to share this with all of us. I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos :-)
thanks so much, that means a lot!
I am going to be changing careers into teaching secondary school Geography in the UK. I have found it so difficult to find content from secondary school teachers and this was brilliant. I have Subscribed and will be back regularly. Keep the videos coming as your insights and experience are so encouraging and valuable 👍
Awesome, thanks! Good luck!
Perfect timing, I'm about to start my PGCE next week. Such helpful advice, thank you!
So glad! Good luck :)
I’m about to start! So excited and trying to find as much help as possible. This video is great thank you so much ❤️
So glad it was helpful! Good luck :)
Thank you very much for sharing this, I start my PGCE in September, this was all really useful 🙂
So glad it was useful :) Good luck with your PGCE!
I'm a primary pgce student and have found this really helpful. Would you be able to make a video on teacher presence/teacher identity? I've notice that I lack confidence when it comes to working with a whole class and struggle with viewing myself as this authorative figure
Absolutely; have had a few requests for this so will try to make it soon :) x
This is very helpful. Thank you for sharing!
Glad is was helpful :)
Thanks for sharing. This is an incredible video :)
Thank you :)
Great video 👍
I’m interested in this course
Madam, being an experienced mentor and a teacher, what is typical school-day for you? What are your strategies to organize/manage Time effectively during School hours? Could you please make a video on that...
more than happy to - will try to find some time to make this.
@@brokenchalksofia Thanks
As someone wondering if a pgce is for them, what's your tips for shyness, behaviour management and first class nerves?
I could do a whole video on this - lots of people have these nerves so it's totally normal. A big misconception is that teachers are always high energy and bubbly, but actually, there is so much room for teachers who are quieter by nature, it brings such a calm energy to lessons and students, so use it to your advantage. To address nerves, be prepared and rehearse! For behaviour management, I have 10 tips on my instagram page and more than happy to make a video in the future, but the key message, is always be authentic to yourself, build relationships and be consistent with your rewards and consequences.
@@brokenchalksofia I'd love to see a video about harnessing nerves and quietness ! ❤
I'd love to see a video on behavioural management. I'm a calm and patient person but I feel that this comes across as being too nice or too weak
@@SashaTorte Will make one soon :) x
Lovely video!
Can u make some video on essays, what is about etc.
Thank you! Will definitely keep that in mind and hopefully do it soon.
@@brokenchalksofia thanks! Will wait for it!
Hello 🎉
I am also a science teacher and I am researching these programs. Can we apply for the pgce program after teach first? If yes, Does having a teach first program ,negatively affect my pgce application?
If I take my PGCE in Biology, will I be able to teach all 3 sciences up to GCSE level? - or will I only teach Biology. (Other than being able to teach Biology A level)
Hiya, you'd be able to teach all 3 sciences in most schools.I think with the recruitment crisis it's common practice in most school to teach across all 3 sciences; there may be some schools in which this isn't the case so always worth asking in an interview. Good luck with your PGCE applicationg!
@@brokenchalksofia Thank you very much for you’re response!
Did you find it hard to find a job after completing a PGCE as a NQT?
Do people usually get job offers during/after finishing the PGCE?
Some people have told me that teachers with Chemistry or Physics PGCEs are in more demand than Biology teachers - could this decrease my chances of finding a job?
@@mr.person2226 These are all great questions! I'll write them down to answer in the Q&A video I'm doing this Sunday :)
I'm in the same boat. Starting my PGCE (Biology) in September. Learning KS3 curriculum with all sciences, KS4 Biology and Chemistry alongside KS5 Biology.
This was useful until you started talking about CPD and never explained what it actually is! Anyone know?
HAHA can totally relate. Sorry, there's lots of jargon. CPD is continuing professional development.
Wow your mentor made you a timetable??? They sound amazing lol
For School Direct PGCE, how can we find Training Providers- to fill 3 Schools in UCAS?
You'll need to go directly to University webpages and find out more about their courses - then on UCAS select the 3 universities you want to apply for.
@@brokenchalksofia Thanks
Sorry this is a bit off topic, but during the interview with the school where you have to give a short presentation and also teach a short part of a lesson....do they tell you in advance what topic is being taught so you can read up on that part of the syllabus to make sure you have all your subject knowledge perfected? And also how would you prepare for the presentation as well? Thanks
Hey! Yes, absolutely, they should tell you what you're doing to teach and who to. I'd prepare it as a normal lesson, depending on how long they ask you do it for - most school ask for an entire lesson. So, write a lesson plan and get the resources ready as you would for any formal observation. I have some lesson planning videos on my channel but will look to make one on interview prep soon :) Good luck!
@@brokenchalksofia Ah thank you so much for your reply! I just didn't want to be put on the spot during the interview, so thats a relief! A video on interview lesson prep would be great! I know you mentioned you share resources within your team or find stuff online like National Oak academy etc but can you also mention some of your go-to websites for lesson plans and also if there are any banks of PowerPoint lessons for each year group that we can use as templates? Thank you again, loving all your content and look forward to more videos! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@nazza00 Thank you! Check twitter and TES for online pp and resources - there are so many fantastic ones.
@@brokenchalksofia that's great I will do that! Thank you again! Hope your having a lovely day! 🤗🤗
Great video! Where did you get your PGCE?
Thank you! From a uni in London :)
hi is it easy to become a teacher in the uk?
I come from abroad so I need to take my GCSE . is it better to do PGCE or SCITT in the UK?
It depends on what the programme has to offer. Both are great but generally speaking, PGCE is a preferred option.
Thanks for video. CPDE means?
CPD means Continuing Professional Development :)
@@brokenchalksofia Thanks
