Three reasons to return to teaching

Three reasons to return to teaching

The UK government recently appealed to qualified teachers who have left the profession to help maintain face-to-face teaching during the pandemic. The call is for past teachers to join the National Tutoring Programme which aims to minimise disruption to teaching due to teacher absence as a result of needing to isolate. Qualified teachers can choose to return to education by taking full-time, part-time, permanent or contract roles.

If you are considering returning to teaching or even moving into teaching, here are just some of the benefits:

Everyday is different

Working with children and adolescents means that no two days are the same. Every day will involve teaching different topics/subjects and dealing with different challenges as your students learn and grow.

Opportunities to develop yourself

Teaching the next generation means you need to keep up-to-date with the latest trends and teaching methods. This allows you a chance to expand your own knowledge base. Often schools will give you access to online journals with the latest education publications or send you on short CPD courses to keep your knowledge base.

Flexible hours and holidays

There is such a shortage of teachers at the moment that there are plenty of full-time, part-time, permanent and contract roles available. And of course, working within education means having a generous holiday allowance.

Rewarding

Of course, the best thing about teaching is the difference you can make to your students’ lives. Not only in your teaching but as you help them navigate through their own problems and challenges.
