School Experience
You can visit schools to get unpaid experience in the classroom before you start your initial teacher training (ITT).
It can help you:
-
decide if you want to train to be a teacher
-
discover if you’d like to teach in a primary or secondary school
-
build a relationship with a school you might want to work for later
During your experience, you’ll get to do things like:
-
observe lessons
-
see how teachers manage a classroom
-
find out how specific subjects are taught
-
speak to teachers and meet pupils
-
learn more about teacher training - including the application and interview process
