My PGCE

My PGCE is finished! I talk about: 

• QTS (Qualified Teacher Status) 
• ECT (Early Career Teacher) 
• Advice for new trainees: 
• - Go with the flow 
• - Focus on what matters, namely: 
• -- Good explanations (self-efficacy) 
• -- Students feel cared for (belonging) 
• - Constant dialogue with mentors/tutors 
• Mental health: 
• - Life is stressful... 
• - ... so find a purpose 
• What next? 
• Introducing the Mr Brown Podcast
