PGCE - Current Students Thread

It's up to you to keep the contact going. I'm sure if you are uber-willing, helpful and considerate they will be happy to help you out. As for the senior school experience, you just have to keep on asking until one says yes. As for photocopiers, there's nothing to them until the paper jams. Then it's game over.

Hahha ok I'll take note lol... It shouldn't be too hard !? I've gotta be there at half 8 to like help set up the class and stuff should be fun I dunno I'm just worried about like break and lunch like am I gonna chill in the classroom with the teachers !? Ahhhh haha I'm sure they're nice and all but I feel so young !? Ahh I'll bring my phone... And ok thanks haha guess I'll do a lot of emailing... Think the smaller schools are easier to get hold of hahaa... I'll probably specific year sevens or something

I would hope they'd make you welcome in the staff room, but you are in a difficult position at your age, and being without CRB clearance they won't leave you alone anywhere. Just smile a lot.

Yeh I'm getting quite worried it's annoying cause it isn't near the town the school it's in this deprived area so I can't exactly just wonder about outside lol... Hmmm this should be interestingggg. maybe I could photocopy myself and they won't notice I've sneaked out hahaha

Feeling very jealous of you, guys, as I'm staying on to the end of term; even if it's paid, I still need the rest desperately and start feeling the fatigue settling in my bones. I thought that after getting getting through the final assessment it would be easier, but it's the busiest period in the school...

Take the opportunity at break and lunch to ask the teachers what hours they work, what they do outside lessons and to just find out about teaching in general. Don't just sit on your phone it's a valuable experience speaking to people who are currently in the profession.

Haha no that would be pretty rude wouldn't it and yeh I guess haha

Good luck to all those who are finishing! This was me last year... Would be so nice to finish now this year :P

Oh hey it's you from the prom dress thread

I'm looking at all of the finishing replies and this will be me in exactly a years time!!!!! I'm so nervous, excited, scared in fact every emotion. So do you all feels it's been worth it in the end?

feel a little bit like I've been faking it and will be caught out at any moment (!), but I think that's natural at this stage.

As far as I can gather I think every teacher feels like this for their entire career! Certainly after a year of teaching I do.
