Hey guys. I've been reading through all the posts and am incredibly grateful for all the advice that people have taken time to give! I've got my AC this week and am petrified! I really want this and have a few concerns I guess.
I'm probably going to teach the primary maths lesson (KS2) although I don't really have a maths background of any form. Do you think that I'll need to justify my lesson choice?
Also, does anyone know how long the interview lasts? From what people have been saying it's purely competency based, is that right? Has anyone brought in a folder of certificates, photos etc and has this been any use at all? It'd be interesting to gauge whether people have been successful or not having done this!
As I said, I'm thinking of teaching the primary maths lesson. I'm quite wary of giving away what exactly the question is but... it seems that many aspects of this topic may have been covered before kids start KS2 but the question seems to demand a VERY basic introduction to the topic. Is that the best approach to take?
Also, does anyone know how many places there are for primary?
Anyway, to everyone who hasn't had their assessments yet, or are waiting for a response, good luck! It seems that most roles haven't been filled just yet so we're probably not competing against each other in any real way, it seems if we're good enough then we'll get through so I hope we all make it!
