Teacher training seminar - Notes and Reflection L012

A lot of what was said in this seminar was information i already knew but i thought that it would be best still to attended just in case they had any new information of if there maybe a different direction into teaching that i haven't come across. I kind of realised this seminar was more of a push to apply for teacher training through NORFOLK TEACHER TRAINING  CENTRE as they were the spokes people so they were trying to sell their company which then did make the seminar based solely around them. If i hadnt of been doing my own research before and knowing that there is other opinions for me out there then i guess it would persuade me to go with them. However knowing the knowledge i know i didn't really see myself wanting to sign up to this specifically.


  • Getting into teaching through placement 
  • Need to get a QTS but no necessary to get PGCE - QTS school based experience 
  • was to get into teaching by looking at get into teaching - UCAS
  • Helpful to get some school experience

  • NORFOLK TEACHER TRAINING CENTRE

  • spending some time observing teachers
  • online portfolio
  • teach in 1 school a term to really get to learn how different schools work and how different children learn
  • subject knowledge ordit
  • course assignments are lesson based rather than essays - which is more relevant to PGCE
  • online reflective journal
  • NQT - newly qualified teacher
  • Course fees £9000 - student loans companies can help but no bursaries can be provided
  • Design technology gets 12,000 bursary
  • Applications from UCAS open in October - two  references needed to fill out form - personal statement include most recent experience that is relevant to course 
  • UCAS applications under NTTC
  • Must complete skills test - mention dyslexic to get extra time
  • group interviews - observe lesson, presentation, then interview
  • if i qualify in primary im qualified to teach in secondary 
  • also qualified to teach abroad

Although attending was refreshing my memory on the application process I am most likely still planning on teaching abroad while I can as its a new adventure.

Abramovic’s early career commenced during the 1970’s an era where performance art was ridiculed, only fuelling her aspirations to prove critics wrong. Abramovic’s rhythm series, which constitutes of five individual performances from 1973 to 1974, scrutinizes the tensions between abandonment and control.

Rhythm 10 consisted of Abramovic recording herself stabbing between the fingers of her left hand with 10 knives, as fast as she could; changing knives every time she cut herself. When all knives were used Abramovic would rewind the tape and playing it back, she then began re-performing the actions to the rhythm of the tape. Abramovic wilfully or not, subjected her performance to a rhythm over which she had limited control. Abramovic claims each cut manifesting itse...

Gingko Tree Research

Evidence in Sketch Book After collecting all of my research together i have been extremely drawn to the plants resilience, only enhanced further by its ability to with stand a nuclear blast. From this the plant becoming a symbol of eradicating nuclear warfare and actually being presented as a 'Prize' to cities who become nuclear free. A plant having such a strong history and is very symbolic in multiple ways is something i'm extremely interested in exploring further. While investigating the ginkgo tree and seeing how this may become present in my artwork will be an on going process but i know i must not neglect other investigations - not to put all my eggs in one basket.  Research - Websites https://e360.yale.edu/features/peter_crane_history_of_ginkgo_earths_oldest_tree https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-29920359 https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/8941542/Akihiro-Takahashi.html https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/04/opinion/the-whis...
