How to Become a Supply Teacher in the UK
In this comprehensive guide, we will explore the various ways teachers can gain experience, equipping them with the necessary tools, skills and strategies for their career. Let's get into it! The Significance of Teaching Experience Gaining hands-on experience in the classroom is paramount for aspiring teachers. Not only does it provide invaluable insights into the day-to-day realities of the profession, but it also allows individuals to develop essential skills, such as behaviour management, lesson planning, and effective communication with students. Teaching experience shows you're dedicated and passionate, making it easier to get a teaching job. Employers prefer candidates with practical experience. Exploring the Avenues for Teaching Experience Get supply experience Engaging in supply work – especially as a Teaching Assistant – can also be an effective way to accumulate teaching experience. Supply teaching positions allow individuals to gain exposure to various grade levels and subject areas, while also providing the opportunity to manage classrooms independently. Here's how to get started: 1. Register Online Simply create an account, upload your CV and create a profile for schools to see. 2. Speak to Zen Educate We'll support you with the next steps, and finding the right work to help you get more experience in schools. 3. Start working Once verified, you’re ready to go into schools! Need help with your CV? Check out our full guide to Teaching Assistant CVs here. Volunteering in Schools and Educational Programmes One of the easiest ways to gain teaching experience is through volunteering in local schools or educational programmes. This very often involves extracurricular clubs and workshops. By immersing themselves in the school environment, aspiring teachers can observe experienced educators in action, gain insights into different teaching methodologies, and develop a deeper understanding of the unique challenges and joys that come with the profession. Internships and Student Teaching Many teacher education programmes incorporate internships or student teaching placements as a core component of the curriculum. These structured experiences provide aspiring teachers with the opportunity to work alongside seasoned educators, gradually taking on more responsibilities and honing their teaching skills in a supervised setting. Internships and student teaching placements offer a unique chance to apply the theoretical knowledge gained in the classroom to real-world scenarios, while also allowing individuals to receive valuable feedback and mentorship from experienced professionals. Developing the Necessary Skills and Qualifications Alongside gaining hands-on teaching experience and attaining your QTS (Qualified Teacher Status) it is crucial for aspiring educators to continuously develop their skills and qualifications. Continuing Education and Professional Development Engaging in ongoing professional development, such as attending workshops, conferences, or pursuing additional certifications, can significantly enhance an individual's teaching abilities and demonstrate their commitment to lifelong learning. Courses that focus on topics like technology integration, inclusive teaching practices, or subject-specific content can further strengthen an aspiring teacher's skill set and make them more attractive to potential employers. Overcoming Challenges and Persevering The path to gaining teaching experience may not always be smooth, and teachers may face various obstacles along the way. However, with determination, resourcefulness, and a willingness to learn, these challenges can be overcome. Common hurdles may include finding roles that will accept Early Career Teachers (ECTs), completing ECT training, and maintaining the positive and resilient mindset needed to thrive in a career in schools. Conclusion Gaining teaching experience is an important step in becoming a great teacher. This guide offers various options to help aspiring teachers develop skills, build connections, and show their commitment. The path to teaching might have its ups and downs, but with persistence and a passion for learning, it can be incredibly rewarding. Embrace the challenges, look for opportunities, and start a journey that will enrich your life and positively impact many students.

Tips for Relieving Teacher Stress
Stress management for a teacher can be a difficult task, sometimes seemingly impossible. Whether you are in your first years of teaching or have many years of experience, stress and teaching can often go hand-in-hand. Often times as a teacher, the work doesn’t end once you leave school. Learning management strategies for dealing with anxiety and a significant workload is important not only for your mental health, but for your overall well-being both in and out of the classroom. Consider the following tips to have a little more peace of mind, remembering that the first person you should take care of is yourself.

How to Overcome the Supply Teacher Effect
Coming back into supply teaching after leaving a full time teacher position after 5 years was a daunting prospect. I was familiar with the same school and the set procedures on a day to day basis. The children knew what I expected of them and were aware of the consequences of not following instructions or school rules. There are certain steps you can take to eliminate the "substitute teacher effect" and have a successful supply day.

Outdoor learning: Changing the way we view learning spaces during COVID-19
Whilst the current COVID-19 crisis is putting everyone's life in a period of uncertainty - no one is facing as much unrest as the key workers across the world and the families they support.

Outdoor learning seems like a prime example of exactly what this change might look like.
