I've just finished my second year of my degree (humanities). It would make sense because of my degree to teach secondary but I'm volunteering full time for this last half term in a primary and I'm loving it, yes it's hard work but the atmosphere is nice and it's rewarding. However I'm unsure about routes into teaching! I know the university based PGCE is most popular but worried about how much experience id gain from two placements. I feel as though something school based would suit me best but confused about SCITTS/school direct/teach first, and gov.uk and UCAS's website hasn't really helped :( the alternative is the salaried school based training which would mean finishing uni and working as a TA for a couple of years to get experience I believe, which might suit me but obviously is less pay and I feel like I'd want a class of my own. So really I'm just wondering if you can comment on which way you entered teaching, and which route has seen the best quality teachers in recent years? Thanks!
