How will you be supported on the course ?
Teaching is a very tiring and demanding profession
At present you are all successful in your situations but when you get into the classroom you are new to the demands
This can make you feel very uncomfortable

16. PGCE POST COMPULSORY EDUCATION
How will you be supported on the course ?
You will need to be very secure in your subject knowledge and have a good idea before you start about the syllabi and assessment methods used within your subject .
Many of the students you will be teaching will be taking their first examinations in their subject in January and the teachers whose classes you will be taking will be anxious for their students

How will you be supported on the course ?
You will be introduced to your classes in September, then observe your class teachers until October . You will then start to become more and more involved with the teaching and by the end of October we hope you will be taking some classes on your own.
