Writing good lesson plans and achievable learning objectives, managing discipline in a classroom and writing high quality examination papers and marking schemes are just some of the skills you will develop during training and in the early stages of your teaching career. You will improve upon and develop these teaching skills throughout your career.
Apart from gathering experience directly relevant to the classroom/lecture hall you will also get experience in tasks such as supervision, team meetings, departmental meetings, and may be involved in organising or helping with class excursions, progress meetings and report writing. Writing new syllabi and practical manuals are tasks typically carried out by lecturers and look very impressive on an educator’s CV.
