So having managed to sort out some personal concerns about becoming a primary teacher I feel like it is an itch I need to scratch.
I volunteered 2 full days a week for 7 years in one primary school, then have worked for 3 years as a TA full time in a different primary.
Very different demographics and SLT's.
So, I am feeling that I would like to train to be a KS1 teacher.
I feel confident with the classroom management, and teaching side (have been running groups for phonics and maths for the last 3 years) but am cautious about all the work that is unseen in teaching.
The teacher I currently work with has said she thinks I should do it and I would do well.
When she trained, she did a full time PGCE and qualified just before turning 50.
My close friend has just in in work training and is in her NQT year.
Is there a right way to train? I currently have 2 teenagers (12 & 14) and a very supportive husband.
I have very little knowledge of the pro's and con's of each option.
Please will you share your wisdom. Hopeful preemptive thanks.
