Research into teaching
after my tutorial with Kathleen I'm going to upload what I know about going into teaching, I haven't uploaded anything about it yet as I didn't really feel it was relevant, however apparently, I was wrong, so here it is.
I've been looking into teaching for the best part of 4 years. I've decided I either want to teach media, textiles or personal development/work skills/PSHE, the reason I have chosen these subjects is because I love media, I study media, and it makes the most sense to teach it. textiles because I loved it when I studied it. I'm so interested in costume and have a lot of knowledge surrounding this as I am a cosplay and costume commissioner in my spare time, so I do have experience in the area, it has been a constant hobby of mine since I was in year 9/13 years old, and a passion since I was 7/8. so whilst I don't have further textiles qualifications, I feel that because of my outside knowledge and experience I would be an able teacher. as for PSHE, I completed work skills in college and I feel it is really important that children learn about life early on to have the best understanding of themselves and the world around them. also, as shown in my work, I really enjoy helping people and I am interested in the logic of it as well, so I feel I could be a good teacher for this topic too.
as for the actual routes into teaching, I know there are various ways you could get into it via internships or SKITS, theres the UCAS teaching route, theres various courses you can take, but the one I am choosing is the 'Learn to teach program' specifically with Weydon school, because thats where I went. I am choosing this because it is a really hands on route into teaching which is what I'm looking for, they have you in the classroom to get the experience as well as supporting you towards getting your PGCE in a one year course. as well as this I would need to get experience in the classroom watching lessons, I already have two days in November organised with Weydon as well as attending a talk on 'Learn to teach' on November 17th to gather more information and advice on my next steps.
