After going back to college (university centre) in 2006 to start the Foundation Degree in Early Years. I have finally met the basic requirements for teacher training (minus QTS Skills tests) B) . I now have my degree at 2:2, GCSE English A, maths C and science C. Next challenge is to pass the QTS skills test :wacko: and gain a place on teacher training.

 

If only I could find the silly teacher who said that I could gain all the above qualifications (not skills tests) to go on to teacher training. Said teacher could do with a right telling off as they had no idea what I was capable of doing, after all we do say children develop at different rates. :blink:

 

As a well know advert say good things come to those who wait! And the scenic route into teaching was a fab experience. I feel a better person for achieving my first set of goals doing it my way.

Well done Beth.Its a good job that you had faith in yourself, unlike the teacher.My grandaughter left junior school as a slow learner. She has just had her G.C.S.E results 5 B's + 1 A*. Her senior school could not see why she had originally been graded as a slow learner.

Well done beth, wondered where you'd been lately, obviously with your head buried in text books

Congratulations Beth!

Yes Rea plus work, guiding and ballet class. And of course trying to find a full time (school day) job in a different school with no sucess.

 

Thanks everyone, still not sunk in that I've got it all. Managed to find some resources to help me prepare for the skills tests.

Congratulations. As someone who was told ( by father and some teachers) that I was stupid, most of my life, and now have my 2:1 degree and EYPS, i understand where you're coming from! Congratulations
