That’s great to hear, I’m glad that these videos are useful and hopefully they will continue to be :)

I’m not coping on my PGCE 😢😢😢😢😢. I’m on my first placement and my mentor is expecting me to plan everything and do 50% of teaching. Also is passive aggressive

Love your videos, I’m actually going to BCU as well. What can you do to prep before your pgce? What books can i read etc?

[@memissjones828]

Have you been sent any reading lists by your university?

[@reneethompsonbeccan3213]

Me&MissJones No I haven’t been sent a reading list yet

Really helpful video. I was getting disillusioned with the workload.

Thank you for a very informative video, about preparing for my PGCE.

I start my PGCE next month and I know it will be hectic! Did you have a part time job during PGCE?

[@memissjones828]

I personally didn’t, however I knew people that did and they were fine :)

[@missnevey123]

Hey, probably overthinking this but what would you wear for lectures as well as for placements ? I don’t want to go to casual into uni if you’re expected to still dress as professional as on placement! Thank you, all your videos are really helpful

[@memissjones828]

I always aimed for smart casual. When I went into lectures, they didn’t require you to dress the same as in school, if I remember correctly. However, I aimed to always be smart causal anyway :)
