Just before they completed their course and headed off to start their teaching careers, some of our PGCE trainees explained what makes the Cambridge PGCE course unique and why they chose to study at the Faculty of Education.
the course at Cambridge has been fantastically well-organised.
...support at the Faculty and in my school placement has helped me become a well-rounded teacher.
...the Cambridge PGCE course gave us a lot of variety and choice when it came to our teaching practice.
...specialist guest speakers from all over the UK gave us a great variety of subject knowledge.
one of the unique features of the Cambridge course was the voice coaching we received.
one aspect that makes the course outstanding is that it's very individualised.
you can talk with your mentor and tutors: it's a very supportive environment.
a university-based course allows you to take research from your peers and implement it in schools.
