I’m Joe, 32 years old and begun my journey with BBSCITT in September, training to be a primary school teacher with BBSCITT’s Wolverhampton Lead Partner: Manor Primary School.
As someone who is joining this course after years in a different career, I can assure you that it is never too late to make the choice to change your life and the lives of others by becoming a teacher. The opportunity to make a positive impact on children and get a real sense of fulfilment out of every day has been the biggest driver for me wanting to move into a career in education.
In the short time I have been on the course, I have been lucky enough to learn from many experienced teachers and to build up a network of fellow trainees, all of whom have been a real source of support as I navigate my way through this journey. I have now started teaching my own solo lessons and can honestly say there is nothing like the feeling of seeing one of your pupils begin to understand something they didn’t before, due to your teaching!
I cannot wait to see what other adventures and challenges the SCITT course has in store for me and all of the other trainees! Make no mistake, this journey will take a lot of hard work, but I guarantee that the rewards will be worth all of the challenges!
