Why complete an internship?
- You’ll get real experience of life in the classroom, and a chance to teach your own lesson. That means you’ll gain skills such as presenting, communication and sharing feedback, which are highly sought after by graduate employers.
- You will spend three weeks in school observing teachers, have the opportunity to see effective leadership in action, and consider how to develop your own teaching and leadership style.
- If you want to try some teaching, you will get the opportunity to put into practice all the skills you’ve learned and observed during the experience. You will get to see if teaching is for you!
- At the end of the internship, if you would like to, you’ll have the opportunity to put everything you’ve learned into practice and be given an opportunity to accelerate your interview process for the GORSE SCITT programme.
