The Bitterne Park Teacher Training Alliance is pleased to offer school experience visits to individuals who may be considering a career in teaching. These events will run from 9.00am to 1.30pm and during your visit you'll have the opportunity to observe some lessons in your chosen subject area, speak to current teachers and receive advice and tips on your teacher training application. There will also be an opportunity for a Q&A session with our Director of Initial Teacher Training.
School experience is a vital part of your teacher training application and the majority of training providers require you to have it. Getting some classroom experience can also help you to decide whether teaching is right for you. It will strengthen your application and prepare you for potential interviews.
