Before starting a return to teaching course there are a number of ways you can begin to refresh your skills and develop your confidence.
Information and communications technology (ICT) is one area you may want to work on before you begin a course.
Read about ways to update your skills before attending a returners course.
School placement
You must ensure that your school placement is arranged and confirmed before beginning your returners course. Your course provider will either organise this for you, or support you with this.
Most course providers have partnerships with schools that will support you on your placement. If you prefer to select a school yourself, your course provider should be able to accommodate this. It is essential that the placement meets your requirements – ask your course provider for more information on this.
