Get into teaching
Teaching is a demanding career and a good teacher needs to be highly skilled in a range of different areas. There are many opportunities for career development in this profession if you have the dedication and enthusiasm to do well for yourself and your pupils.
The Training and Development Agency (TDA) works with schools to develop the workforce and ensure that schools can recruit good quality, well trained people. The TDA website gives all the information you will need if you are thinking of a career in teaching. Alternatively you can contact them on 0845 6000 991.
Information on the basic requirements to enter the profession with details of what qualifications an individual will need to persue a career in teaching from GCSE level to degree level can be found on the TDA website.
What ever your circumstances, qualifications, experience or preference, a range of different initial teacher training (ITT) are available with guidance from the TDA on what to do next.
For those interested in the employment-based training route, the TDA website provides information about the Graduate Teacher Programme (GTP); more information on the GTP in Ealing is available on this site.
