I am in my late 20's with a degree in Leisure Management, an Advanced GNVQ in Media: Communication & Production (3 A Level Equivalent) and GCSE's (mainly C's, but an E in Maths). What route would you recommend I take considering its been 7 years since my degree?
Also, to teach at primary school level in private or public schools, is the route any different?
Thanks!
First of all, you need to get that C in Maths GCSE!
TO teach as a primary school teacher, you need a minimum of 3 GCSEs C+ in English, Maths and Science. Maybe with your age and ecperience they will let you slide on that one, but its not worth taking the risk.
You have a degree, and although its not in a national curriculum subject, you don't really need a specialist subject to teach primary, as you teach a wide range of subjects to one class.
You need to gain your QTS (Qualified teacher status) Without this you cannot teach. To do this, you could either enroll at uni for a PGCE (one year, FT) or find a school willing to accept and emply you as an unqualified teacher and participate in a GTP sceme to gain your QTS.
Try looking on the TDA webby.
I currently am a house wife looking after my 3 month old daughter, but am also a qualified accountant. I am seriously considering re-training to become a primary school teacher. I would need to be at home whilst learning, or maybe just be in uni for a day a week. Is this possible? How long will it take?
I'm also training to become a primary school teacher, and I study with the Open University - cause I need a national curriculum degree - in the evenings and weekends when I'm with my kids. It's hard but worthwhile and 2 more years I'm ready for PGCE
I am worried that the fitness to teach questionnaire will stop me getting a place.I have suffered 3 psychotic episodes in 15 years but have been stable on new medication for 4 years.I am currently assisting at a primary school and during the past 2 years have been gathering the necessary qualifications for teaching which I have completed successfully.Will I be disqualified from working with young children because of my illness?
If you've got the needed experience, and you have had a long period of stability - then there should be no reason why you won't get accepted into the course.
You've got plenty of experience, and as long as you perform to a good standard in the numeracy and written tests, the presentation and the interview - you will have as good a chance as anyone,
I am currently a Leaving Certificate student, with the aim of eventually becoming a Primary school Teacher. At present I cannot decide which college to go to. I have narrowed it down to Mary Immaculate College in Limerick and St.Pats in Drumcondra in Dublin. Does anyone have any recommendations? It is thought that Mary I has a better name, however after doing some research the course in st.Pats seems to be more innovative. I am extremely confused. Does anyone have any recommendations? Any feedback on either college would be greatly appriciated:) Thank you:Dxx
Th course in St Pats is excellent i have 4 friends who did it and one who moved from a different course to it.
I want to be a primary teacher but if that doesn't work out, then I'd like to be a primary school teacher for special needs. I've never heard of any colleges that do it, or the amount of CAO points you need etc. Could anyone fill me in? Thanks
It's to teach students with special needs, not to be a special needs assistant. Just to make that clear.
I'm pretty sure you have to take a FÁS course to special needs teacher.

Teacher training needed to improve primary school science lessons ...
It's worth reflecting on the situation where the most relevant subjects for future economic growth - STEM \(Science Tech. Engineering & Maths) are likely to see a further weakening of interest & skills, unless there is a more subtle approach to education resourcing policy. Every school for themselves, with no real local authority strategy, poor networking and reduced funding is a recipe for disaster in this and other fields of learning. Without local advisory teams and specialist school support for primary schools, the sharing of best practice in these subjects will continue to be more than challenging; the baseline for more specialised courses at GCSE & beyond is more than likely to settle to a new depression. As part of a coherent strategy for economic growth, investment in future generations always starts early and the investment in their educators needs to be continuous. The existing commitment of STEM ambassadors, industry experts and academics to support science in education is at risk as funding for key networks is reduced or abandoned. The high cost of weakening systematic investment in learning in key areas and gambling our future on a series of pious hopes will reap a bitter harvest around 10-15 years from now. An enlightened response is urgently needed.
