To do a masters

[Rosesareredvioletsareblue121]

Hi,
I'm a supply teacher NQT (graduated last July). I have enjoyed supply but currently schools are closed and ofcourse no idea when they will open or, even if they were to open, whether visitors would be allowed in schools for a while.

There's so much speculation online about when they will open and the general thought is September or even next January!
I thought about maybe using this time to complete a 2-year part time fully-online distance masters to keep my brain occupied.
I was thinking a speech impairment specific masters as I feel this will really enhance me and I feel excited about the thought of applying for it.

I have my application all written out and basically ready to click send but I have a bubble in my throat of whether i'm making the right decision or whether i'm doing this because of the uncertainty of life at the moment.

Pick your university very very carefully, not all are as good as they look - I'd recommended going with one of well known ones. Glasgow, Birmingham etc.
I'd go for it, you've nothing to lose by gaining a qualification as long as you can afford it.

It's an entirely online one I would like to do but I have been looking very carefully for the past month! Thank you for the reccomendations! I haven't looked into Glasgows courses so will take a look;

My panic came from Google saying NQTs will find masters really stressful,
But I found my PGCE to be quite okay and i'm guessing I will be on supply for another year judging by the current economy so I just thought why not

And I was going to use Student Finance to fund it

Anyone else?

Glasgow and Birmingham both do online ones. I didn't find my written work to be any harder than my PGCE work, I did mine with another university in the north but they don't do it all online - not until now anyway.
