I am a Secondary Geography Trainee. I chose to train with LTSA SCITT over a university PGCE route because I wanted to be in school from day 1 seeing how teachers set up their classrooms and building relationships with staff that I hope will last far longer than the training year.
In September I didn’t know what I didn’t know yet about teaching having come from a coaching background I knew how to work in small groups but hadn’t taught a class of 30+ teenagers at once. I was eager to get going and my mentor and I quickly agreed for me to start with a year 7 class and build up my teaching hours each week
