I start my PGCE tomorrow and you are making me feel so much better about starting! I've been feeling so nervous and out of the loop but your videos are helping me feel more prepared and ready! :D xx
Love the video, so informative . I'm starting my PGCE in September and after watching your video it has really helped me open my eyes.i feel less scared and nervous now .
Thank you for this, so helpful!😊 was wondering whether you could maybe do a video on classroom tips? I.e. maybe some behaviour management tips, tips on how to confidently teach (I lack confidence :( ) and lesson plans? Anything of that sort would be amazing! Thank you 😊
@@MysteryDateWithaBook okay but I don't really know what to do. I just want to be a teacher but not a Dutch one so I have to figure that out. What way did you go before you Pgce??
@@celestcloudt I did a degree in Psychology before my PGCE :) You don't have to be a Dutch teacher. You can teach anything you want, I think... Are you in the UK?
Starting my Primary PGCE in September and this video was really calming and interesting! Felt informative and calming as i'm a bit scared/stressed before starting the course. However, this made me feel more at ease and excited to start so thank you!
I just watched this and so sorry to hear about your second (horrible) placement and observation. I think a classroom should be a highly welcoming place for students and teachers alike. But sadly there are some insecure teachers too (insecure teachers- sounds such an oxymoron, right?!) Anyway, glad you could come out of it and continued to become a successful teacher and grow it enjoy it. More power to you!
Awwww if i was a child I would love to have such a fun loving teacher like you. You such upbeat gal! Love it!!! Thank you for these videos and congratulations on becoming a teacher. Super!! I was wondering in terms of the resource folders is it just for your lesson plans you put together or is it both you and the class teacher. On the whole how hard was on the theories etc Does you diary get added to the portfolio? Thank you Stay safe. Subscribed
Aaw thanks! ♥ You're so kind! So your resource folder is filled with everything you could possibly use again in the future. So if you create (or copy from the internet) a worksheet, then you put it in the resource folder... Or if you come up with a really good lesson plan that you could use with another class in the future, then add it to the folder... Anything that might get re-used or photocopied for future classes goes in the folder :D Hope that helps...lol
Sometimes they'd give each other "looks"... I knew not to say anything then. Doing a placement with 2 teachers was really odd! I don't recommend it! Haha!
I think I'd probably enjoy primary more, ie the idea of it doesnt stress me out, but the huge gap in money grants is something I feel I have to think about out. O grants for primary next to 12000 grand for english secondary. Im so late to apply and Im still stuck because of these reasons! thanks for the video. The other BIG thing this year is that, like you said, its normal to become close friends with your peers and share experiences, and this year all teaching for the first term is online! so it'll be extra hard without going in.
Yes, primary teaching is a lot less intimidating than secondary! Haha! But grants are something to keep in mind as well... Good luck with your course! :D
Thanks for sharing. I am applying for PGCE in next year, but I am too confused to make a choice, like primary (X100) or primary (38QR)... what are differences between them? I am a Chinese, I am not sure primary means that teacher should teach all subjects or only Chinese or specific subject.
@@MysteryDateWithaBook thank you for your reply, just want ask quick question, im planning to do next year this course, once you complete your study, how hard is it to get a teaching job?
@@anilsubba8697 That depends entirely on where you want to live/work. London is always crying out for teachers, up in the north west you’ll probably struggle but you’ll eventually find a position. In Northern Ireland though most people have to spend 3 to 5 years subbing before they’re offered a job. It really depends on where you are.
Thanks so much for this video. It's so beneficial. I'm due to start my pgce in a few weeks. I'm nervous excited and terrified all in one. I wanted to ask what schools are like if you leave at say 4pm? I am prepared to do the extra work at home and come in at 7am but I can't leave too late because I have 2 children to pick up and separate schools that are far apart
It really depends on the school. My uni kept telling us to stay in until 5:30 (at least), but in some schools the teachers leave at around 3:30... It varies a lot. I'm sure if you explain that you have to pick up your children they'll be ok with it.
Feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee obrigada pelos videos!!! Eu tambem vou comecar um PGCE e estou com algum medo... Posso mandar-te um direct com uma pergunta por favor? beijinhooos
If videos like this are triggering your anxiety then maybe you shouldn't be watching them. I made this to help and support people who are doing their PGCE. I wish you good luck on your course.
Hi Faye I wanted to do PGCE in uk I am not from an wealthy fam so for my monthly expenses I have to manage by working there in the evenings is it possible to work in evening after my college course of PGCE I heard it a bit lot of homeworks have to be done at home whether working in the evenings to meet our needs will be possible expecting your reply ma'am
Will the college or school pay me during the 1st and 2nd interns(placement) for my teaching ma'am if not what are the ways I could generate cash for my living expenses other than busaries in uk ma'am
@@thulasinathra47 Most people who go through a PGCE are from the uk so naturally get a bursary/grant. Those who come from abroad usually save some money before starting the course.
