Hello people and greetings from Japan.

Here is some new content I have posted on the 'Applying for a PGCE' page. To view all the information I have written regarding the subject, click on the tab above.

The new content is regarding taking observations in British state schools which is a requirement that must be fulfilled prior to application.

These are the subheadings of the content that I have posted on the before-mentioned page:

OBSERVING LESSONS BEFORE APPLYING - WHERE, WHEN AND FOR HOW LONG?

MY EXPERIENCE OF OBSERVING LESSONS.

GETTING READY TO APPLY - REFEREES.

GETTING READY TO APPLY - YOUR PERSONAL STATEMENT.

I hope that, if you are thinking about applying for a PGCE, this page will give you some tips and things to consider that you won't find anywhere else. Although it is useful to anyone thinking about applying for a PGCE, it also has some extra tips for those people who are thinking about applying from abroad, as I did. Click on the tab above!
