selinalouise is at work..dreaming about what to put in her 5 year plan
Yay! I’ve passed my PGCE. I am now officially a teacher :-) Phew that was hard work. Now looking forward to a relaxing summer and preparing to start my job in september!!
How I did it: I have never been a teacher! I always wanted to be a teacher. After I finish school and go to college i will be a teacher. Or I will help elephants! Elephants are awesome! I have always wanted to be a teacher because I have seen teachers helping other students!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Read how I did it…
How I did it: University MA/Teacher Certification Program. I took most of the required education courses as an undergraduate but would have had to stay undergraduate for another year in order to student-teach, so I graduated with my English degree, then re-applied to the School of Ed. as a graduate student. This was an efficient choice because, in order to continue teaching, I would need to pursue my Master's degree anyway! Read how I did it…

So..its always been my dream to be a teacher and now I’m at university studing to be 1!!
But since my placements I’v relised that this job is much harder than I thought! I have a long way to go in self confidance and other areas before becoming a good teacher.
Its about 5 weeks untill my 5 week placement were I will be teaching more and being more involved with the children, I need to practice behaviour strategys and also start coming up with good lesson plans to use =D
texanangel is realizing how GOOD things really are.
two more years and i’ll be here. i can’t wait. my grandmother was a teacher, and so was my mom. i am so excited to be able to make a difference and i honestly feel like this is my calling in life.

ive just literally finished my first placement and am visiting my second one tomorrow. weird to believe im 2/3 way through my course already! just over 3 months then im qualified, better start looking for jobs
I want to be an early childhood teacher and work with kids with Austim, and other disabilities. I am working on completing my course work now
I want to be a kindergarten-second grade teacher but if I dont end up getting becoming a nurse practitioner, which I probably wont do, even though it sounds really cool and great, I want to get my masters so I can teach whatever I want. I love small children though so no matter what I do I will be with them and love them all.
Gave my first talk on economic theory (value, exchange, price) and the challenges of digital money – and for the first time ever, I “presented” without any slides or a computer; just me, a few notes on paper and a small crowd of 20.
Once I started talking and stuck to my script, everything went smooth and easy and I could talk freely. The talk was way too long for the time slot, but still pretty well received, I even got positive feedback. I enjoyed the experience and I hope to get another chance soon.
Oh… having a few glasses of red wine obviously helped :)
