Here The Beckies talk with Aggie a student teacher who is studying for her PGCE\\xa0 for primary education.
She chats about what led her to this route and what the passion is behind her choice to work with children as a primary teacher for 5-11 year olds
Aggie has her foundations in early years working in a free-flow setting and also Managing a 4-2-11\\xa0 camp that runs in the holidays.
What is it really like to be a young person studying to teach the next generation?
She talks about what makes you come alive and trying different things to ensure that you love what you, testing out your ideas helps you to know what is the right career path for you.
The PGCE route Aggie is on follows a University base and placements in schools leading to teaching the class.\\xa0 Aggie describes what\\xa0 the workload\\xa0 is like\\xa0 at Uni with honesty and how trying to\\xa0 stay organised and doing work\\xa0 little and often really helps.\\xa0 One of the main things she has found\\xa0 that has helped\\xa0 is to be part of\\xa0 a community of support\\xa0 with your colleagues on the course and create opportunities to help each other.\\xa0
What is it really like being back in a school environment?\\xa0 Aggie has found that school does not seem to have changed from when she attended and discusses how she would like to create a completely natural environment and how she has taken the children's learning outside. Science outside proved a great hit with the children and their learning was more engaged and less distracted.
