getting into teaching

[fudge080]

Hello,

I work in a primary school as an adminstrator and I wanted some advice on how best to get into teaching?. I dont have a university degree.

Thanks

oh fudge........... i was just helping my son pick out his subjects for grammar school...

what part of the country are you in?

i know here in northern ireland......... the chance of even getting into a teaching school is beyond belief.

sorry for being negative........but this i hope only applies to us here.

i do know you definitely need a university degree

My daughters and my granddaughters are all teachers and they have all been to university and got a degree.

Maybe a teaching assistants job first... just to get a feel of what being in the classroom all day feels like and what actually goes on. A lot of TA jobs involve class cover as well. I know lots of TA's who have gone on to teach...
