Description

The job-for-life culture is long gone, and one of the many benefits of being a teacher is that you can come back to it after doing other things. This programme focuses on returning to teaching after a break from the profession. Peter Curran hosts a discussion in which Mary Doherty from the Training and Development Agency and Head Teacher Kate Griffin, herself a returner, discuss the merits of teachers who have spent time away from the classroom. Careerwise then takes a look at a returners course run by Roehampton University, for people who want to get up to speed after a break from their teaching career. Then, to explore some of the changes would-be returners can expect, Times Education Supplement journalist Fiona Flynn spends a day at the school she last taught at 10 years ago.
