I've just applied to Uni
 

to do a Teaching course :eek: LOL

I've always dreamt of doing it and what better way than to do it while my kids are not in full-time education yet If selected, I will be scrutinised by loads of peeps (Teachers Council & ministry of Education i think) and hopefully will start my course in approx. 4 weeks time :eek:

I hope I can get on the course! I had to leave my course back in the UK cause we were moving out here

I love having PR :lol:

Which university have you applied to?

Re: I've just applied to Uni
 

Open Polytechnic :thumbsup: I've just been chatting to my friend in UK who is a Student Teacher and she said it's 3x as expensive than here to do the course :eek:

Re: I've just applied to Uni

Re: I've just applied to Uni
 

I've missed the cut-off date for Feb start, so I won't be able to start until July now :( But it does give me chance to get a head-start on textbooks etc and I'm not pulling out stupid amounts on top of the $8575 fee :eek::eek::eek: If selected and accepted I'll be doing Diploma of Teaching Early Childhood Education but am thinking maybe in the future I'd like to do Primary too. Got to get myself onto this course first though... have to tell them in 300 words or less why I want to teach :unsure:

Do you know where I can get hold of cheap textbooks?

Good luck with your last year! I have a friend who studies at Massey and is now doing her last year extramural - she says it's fab! :thumbsup:

Re: I've just applied to Uni
 

i think u only have to do an extra yr if u decide later that u wanna do primary!! not sure about the books...im hoping to find somewhere...fees are a killer eh?? think mines about $7000...its 2 yrs extramural ive to do...only had 1 more yr to do in the uk...shudve finished it there!!! glad ur friend says masseys fab....was unsure what to expect!!! :confused:

Re: I've just applied to Uni
 

have you done the free maori ora course??? ive started that too as its good to know for teaching...the treaty and customs/beliefs, and the language and pronunciation...:thumbup:

Re: I've just applied to Uni
 

Oh thats good! Thought I might have to do a few years on top. Will ask Sarah if she knows anywhere selling cheap textbooks for us ;) She'll know loads of people at Massey so it can't hurt to ask :lol:
