Those who can teach
Over the last 10 years training to become a teacher has been changing. Firstly, the routes available to become a teacher have altered significantly. Traditionally students went to university, completed a degree and went on to do a PGCE programme, (Postgraduate Certificate of Education) which involved placements at different schools. Now that’s changed as more innovative ways to bring teachers into the profession are needed. There are still the traditional routes available however now options such as School Direct are proving to be really successful methods of training, not only for the schools involved, but also for the trainees.
