The diary of a trainee teacher

By: Sean Smith

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

In 2016 I completed my Early year's teacher training course. Throughout my course I faced a range of challenges, including being left alone to teach a class of sixty children, working in a school which despised students, and managing challenging behavior. I finally achieved success working in a year two class in a private school. Throughout my training year, I was preparing to marry my fiancee in what was to be a truly disastrous wedding. I also looked after my Uncle John during my training year, as he was suffering from a terminal illness. When I received a surprise gift from my uncle, my life and future career choices changed forever.
