Getting Experience

Ambassadors Scheme

Student Associates Scheme (SAS)

This TDA scheme helps you to gain classroom experience whilst continuing with your present studies.
School visits
Go into a school for the age range you are interested in - this could be a school you went to or one in your local area. Go and watch some teachers in the classroom and see what techniques they use.
Talk to teachers
Try to get a feel for the highs and lows of teaching from the people who know best.
