Hi
I'm having a think about doing a PGCE to teach secondary geography (my degree is BSC Geog) but as I'm now 38 and other than two years working for DEFRA, I've not been in a geography environment.
A few years back I had applied for a primary GTP and volunteered in a primary school for almost two years, but changed my mind after realising the school I was going to be placed at really wasn't for me.
Now though, I'm thinking I can prepare and apply over this coming year and start training in 2017. However, the geography curriculum has really changed since I did it as a student but how much will that matter?
I'm worried my subject know,edge won't be good enough. I've read up on SKE courses but do you only do those once you've got onto a PGCE course....because do you fit it in whilst doing the PGCE?
