I chose to study at the IOE due to its outstanding reputation in the field of teacher training and educational research. The Institute's PGCE gives you an excellent grounding in the theory of teaching and education and in current affairs as well as important pedagogical aspects.
I had to juggle the responsibilities I had in the classroom with my own professional development and assignments. I overcame this by working very hard and taking the advice given by my tutor about when to start work on assignments and how to manage time in school and at home.
I met people from a wide range of age groups and backgrounds. Everyone had something valuable to contribute to our course discussions and class time. Many of them will be friends for life, and we will continue to support each other in our careers as we did in our training.
My end goal in teaching is to become a headteacher, and the IOE has helped me on the first step of the ladder. Also, the fact that the course can be worth up to 90 masters-level credits will help me to achieve further qualifications, thereby improving my abilities to teach and manage in schools.
