Well, now I’ve cleared the glitch with regards to my Blogging 101 course, I am looking forward to a month of extra special posts!
(on top of the special ones I post generally!)
And I have signed up for a course, like a proper course too!
I qualified as a teacher in 1997 then didn’t work in education until 2010. in that time a LOT had changed, and as it stands, I work as a HLTA, a Higher Level Teaching Assistant. This means that I don’t have to go about the whole rigmarole of planning, preparation and assessment, like the class teacher, but I reap the rewards, I get to work with the kids, and do what I have wanted to do since I was a kid! It suits me at the moment, as, with my own two children to think of, I know a teachers time outside of school is precious, and often it is still taken over by school related activities. I want to give them the support that a mother should be giving, as well as working towards a career back in teaching eventually.
Therefore, with the full encouragement of my family, and Head Teacher, I am taking a Return To Teach course! It will update my qualifications, get me up to scratch with new curriculums and the assessment procedures of today. It’s handy that I have been in school the last 4 years anyway, but to get that piece of paper to show I am officially up to date, will make me, ultimately, more employable too!
I had to arrange finance options as it isn’t cheap, but I’m nervously excited to be starting this at the end of April!
Wish me luck everyone!
But I Smile Anyway...

It won’t take long, as its just a refresher, over 2 months, and it includes a 5 day placement too. Nervously excited, as I said! 😊

It’s a shame to make it so costly, when you don’t get paid as much as you deserve. But the dividends of making such a difference are priceless!
