Teaching advice : Work experience in schools

Build a solid foundation for your future teaching career with a work experience scheme...

Gaining work-related experience is essential. If you're interested in teaching, you should contact schools directly to ask for work experience. It is also a good idea to make contact through your family and friends.

The following schemes will help you to find work experience opportunities:

  • School Experience Programme (SEP)  - gain hands-on experience working in a classroom setting. This programme opened for applications in September 2012.
  • Undergraduate Ambassadors Scheme (UAS) - awards academic credit to science, technology, engineering and maths undergraduates working with teachers in local schools.
  • Teaching Advocate Programme  - talk to a teaching advocate by phone or email to hear what they have to say about a range of issues such as behaviour management, time management and the curriculum.
