Supporting Aspiring Teachers

One of our maths teachers from the senior and prep schools visited the University of Kent to deliver a lecture on pathways and progression in teaching to a group of undergraduate students.

The Social Sciences in the Classroom module gives third year social science students the chance to learn about career opportunities in the education sector and also gain teaching experience. 

Mrs Ransom informed the students about the potential routes they can take for a teaching career, and the training opportunities available to attain a Qualified Teacher Status and progress through to the National Professional Qualifications (NPQs).

Impact

As a facilitator on a number of NPQ courses delivered through the Kent Teaching School Hub said it is great to be able to represent King’s and share the opportunities that the schoool offers for teachers.

“Teaching is undoubtedly a very rewarding career choice and I enjoy supporting those considering becoming a teacher or wanting to progress in their professions. We look forward to seeing how these aspiring teachers progress."
