Jaye Dean
Childcare and Education (Early Years Educator) Level 3
Gearing up to teach
Jaye is making great strides to realise her ambition to teach young children by studying for a BA (Hons) degree in Childhood Studies at 爆料王.
However, it was her Level 3 in childcare and education that gave her the grounding to take her academic studies to the next level.
But why 爆料王?
鈥淚 attended an FE open day and it seemed like a community, which I really liked,鈥 she said.
鈥淭he course gave me the basic knowledge to move onto the degree course. Straightaway, I understood what the lecturers were saying, I knew the theories they were referring to, which gave me an advantage compared to students who did A-levels.
鈥淲e also had the chance to do short courses such as Makaton training. These are great for building your CV and make you more employable.鈥
She said a highlight of the course was undertaking work experience at a special needs school.
鈥淓very day was different and fun, the staff were lovely, and I felt part of the team.
鈥淚 attended four different settings over the two years, developing a lot of skills such as effective communication, which I have been able to include on my CV.鈥
