I have just accepted an offer from Charles Darwin Uni to do the BA of Teaching and Learning (Early Childhood). I got decent marks in basic Maths and science in Year 11, so I don't think my knowledge would be adequate enough for middle and secondary school.
I have done some volunteer work at the local library helping the youngsters with their reading. Got a real kick out of their enthusiasm and eagerness to learn, so decided to give it a crack. I start in two weeks, but will be doing my first prac in semester 1 next year.
I have managed to gain a prac position at a local Christian school with a great community ethos, and plenty of opportunities for me to be involved with school functions, quiz nights, fundraisers etc...
I have a very solid work ethic and am prepared for the hard yards. My current job (working for TAFE SA) is extremely unsatisfying and I am almost going brain dead in it. I am 28 and have been in my job for nearly eleven years, so time for a big change. I have had to deal with mature age students and their dramas so I hope life experience goes a long way.
Thanks Noddy Holder for your posts on this topic. I have really enjoyed reading them. You both seem to love teaching and your students are very lucky!!
