Pitter Patter....
After a year of thinking and planning, my PGCE finally begins. I spent this weekend, and next weekend in Bangkok, and am officially accepted into the PGCE program at Nottingham University, located in the UK. This program involved me working in the mainstream classroom for fifteen full teaching weeks, doing all of the teaching while being supervised. Upon successful completion of the course, I will be eligible to work as a full time teacher at many international schools around the world.
This last weekend we were in Bangkok for basic training, where I met people from Chaing Mai, Phuket, Malaysia, Singapore and the UK. It was pretty cool. I am greatly looking forward to doing this program and hopefully being hired on full time next year (with full pay, yay) at Regents or perhaps another international school.
It is wierd, however, getting a degree from a school I have never seen, from a country I have never stepped foot in. However, thats the new world order and the way teaching has been changing over the last decade. I will keep you posted!
