I'm hoping those of you that already work in this area can give me some advice....
I'm a qualified nursery nurse with 6 years experience, and at the moment I'm working part time (3 days) in a private nursery, the other 2 days I'm at home with 2 year old ds1 and 8 month old ds2.
Eventually when the boys are at school I want to do teacher training, but until then I want to get some experience working as a teaching assistant in schools.
I've applied a couple of times but not even got an interview, so obviously I'm not putting the right things on the app. form. What sort of things do they look for, and what areas of experience should I stress?
Also, quite a few mention experience in the curriculum, etc. Do I need to get experience working in a school maybe one day a week on a voluntary basis, or can I read up on these things?
Any advice would be much appreciated, I'm really at a loss as to what would be the best thing to do next!
Thanks in advance for your help
