  • The End
    Jul 2 2022

    My PGCE is finished! I talk about:

    • QTS (Qualified Teacher Status)
    • ECT (Early Career Teacher)
    • Advice for new trainees:
    • - Go with the flow
    • - Focus on what matters, namely:
    • -- Good explanations (self-efficacy)
    • -- Students feel cared for (belonging)
    • - Constant dialogue with mentors/tutors
    • Mental health:
    • - Life is stressful...
    • - ... so find a purpose
    • What next?
