91视频 will be hosting Professional Skills Workshops for those interested in training for a career in teaching.
Whether undergraduate or postgraduate, anyone wishing to train to be a teacher needs to pass professional skills tests in numeracy and literacy before beginning studies to become a fully-fledged teacher.
Gill Golder, Director of Teacher Education at Marjon, said the workshops are a great chance to revise ahead of the tests.
鈥淭he sessions offer a useful recap on how to answer questions on the professional skills test papers. Many people get nervous about taking the tests as they have not revisited some concepts since they did their GCSEs in Maths and English and some view the tests as a barrier to joining the teaching profession,鈥 said Gill.
鈥淭hese active workshop sessions aim to provide a base of knowledge so that those who attend can feel a lot more confident in their ability to pass the tests and we are not turning away people unnecessarily from the highly rewarding career of teaching.鈥
