If you are in your final year, considering a career in teaching and wanting to start in September 2017.
What are the benefits of this scheme above other routes into teaching?
As you are probably aware, there are numerous routes into teaching, which can be convoluted and confusing. The main benefits of this scheme are:
- A placement starting in September 2017
- A competitive salary in the region of £22k, which includes the salary and training costs
- A guaranteed placement in a forward-thinking, local school for your main placement, for three years
- Support from University of Kent staff, both during the application, interview and work placement stage and also once the programme has started
- A guaranteed paid work placement in Brompton before starting the scheme, for approximately 6 weeks in the school Summer Term (in May and June 2017)
- A significantly reduced teaching load in your first year, to allow for a gentler introduction into teaching while you train
