I think so!

[Carole Faithorn]

Me too!

I do hope you'll take up the challenge, Tom H, and start a new 'PGCE Training 2006/7' thread for the new PGCErs. I'm sure that these threads are of huge value, not just to those who contribute but to those who lurk too.

Only three weeks to go now as well... not that I'm counting down or anything! It's a bit too early to start the thread itself, but it will be up soon.

Probably not! I'm sure you will not be the only one looking at the site who is just about to start PGCE. It might be interesting for you to post to see who is lurking out there and to perhaps canvas peoples' thoughts before they start.

Good man. ... and I agree with Carl about starting the thread soomer rather than later.

Good luck Tom I hope you get as much as I did from doing the PGCE diary. Also dont be put off by the fact that you might not get immediate responses from other student teachers you will! and I look forward to reading your experiences.
Welcome to the wonderful world of teaching

Well it seemed only fitting that as I started this thread that I should be the person to finish it and let you know where I am to date. In three weeks time I will be unemployed, not necessarily by choice but none the less no longer a teacher for now. Those who have followed my thread will understand that there were many times during my postings that I didn't think I would make it to the end, but I did. However, the school that I have been employed in for the past 18 months have made it impossible for me to continue there and so I have decided after much soul searching to relocate to another part of the country to be with my husband who serves in the Armed forces. Unfortunately, history teaching jobs in the south west are a rarity and I am not sure if I will be able to continue in this profession that I love! I just wanted to thank all of those that helped helped me along with advice and resources, you really were a significant factor in my success of obtaining my teacher status. I wish you all much success and a happy christmas

Hello, I'm back, I managed to find a HISTORY TEACHING JOB down in the South West at long last - Its only long term supply, covering maternity leave and its a 80 mile round trip but after 18 months teaching humanities, I can concentrate on what I love best . It feels good to be back. Have you missd me

Have indeed! Now which school are you in [PM if you prefer], as I did my training in Plymouth and am always interested to see how the schools there are getting on!
