Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
For 2 days we looked at different methods of teaching. This involved 2 8 hour zoom calls, involving break-out room activities and note-taking. Then, on day 2, we delivered a 6 minute lesson to a small group of people on the programme, giving and receiving feedback.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was very eye-opening and as somebody who has been contemplating a career in teaching for a while, it was great to solidify that this is something I might want to do.
