First revision lesson today: 2nd year 'Food&Feeding'.
5 station, each in a different theme, and with similar but differing activities. E. G. Answering fixed and open ended Qs, matching key terms to images and definitions, and labelling the body.

Graphic of four people climbing a mountain. They are roped together and one is at the top. There is a folding stool, a flask and other equipment on the ground. In the background are more mountains and a sky with a few white clouds.

Latest post about my #PGDE journey becoming a high school #Biology #Teacher.

So I finally did it. I taught my first whole lesson of high school.
The anxiety of build up followed by the release afterwards felt like uncorking fizzy wine.
I've got a lot of developed, but it wasn't enarly as tough as I'd imagined.

This didn't happen as I was unwell, but it is happening this week.
Any advice from jnr teachers?
Ive never been this nervous for teaching in any other context.
#PGDE #Teaching #Science #Biology
Potentially/probably teaching my first full period this week.
Pretty nervous.
Don't really know how to remedy that bar a lot of prep.
This is hard.

Didn't get the job. A little disappointed, I'd never felt more suitable for a position before and was over qualified compared to the candidate criteria.
Hoping for some useful feedback to take me forward.
We persevere.

Interveiw for a "Variable Lecturer" job today.
Still don't quite know what that means, and they give no expected hours in the advert.
I'm more than an ideal fit, however. So I'm quite confident I'll get an offer.
Still nervous.

Tomo I Co-teach my first high school class.
I'm so freaking nervous.
All I have to do is deliver what the teacher already planned.

Anyone thinking of doing a #PGDE or #PGCE to become a #Teacher, anything you'd like to know about the process?

#PGDE anxiety is sinking it.
#Teaching seems like such a consuming job, and I'm absolutely knackered just doing observations one day a week.
Can't see how I'll cope prepping, delivering, and evaluating a full schedule of classes.
Any advice from #Teachers?

I started a part time #PGDE in August :)

Missing placement day 5 of my #PGDE due to sickness.
Feel bad for doing so, and struggling to actively rest.
I am a terrible sick person.
Since August I've been doing a #PGDE to become a high school #Biology #Teacher.
Here're my reflections so far :)
Ask me anything :)

#PGDE week3:
Between a stag do and now falling ill, am already behind the workload.
Feeling overwhelmed but it all, tbh.
#phdlife #phdchat #phdvoice
Week1 of the #PGDE has been good.
Biggest revelation is how little attention I have now. Reading articles and taking notes is taking painfully long.
Hoping the weekly tasks will help train that.
#phdlife #phdchat #phdvoice
I started a #PGDE which is a teaching training degree. In 2 years I'll be a high school Biology teacher.
Teaching was always the aim. But having the option of doing so in HE taken away from me sucks.
Ultimately, I'm now more nervous because what if it's not for me?

Also anyone starting #PGDE
The secret is to know many very experienced teachers also have imposter syndrome 😊

There are still some work to do to improve things for Deaf teachers & future Deaf teaching students. Hopefully, this will help others to understand what it’s like to be a Deaf teacher.
