“The ALN modules and the Curriculum Design were the first modules that really caught my attention and I feel passionate to explore. I wanted to extend my higher education to be a role model to my learners and what better way to set an example to the children that I am still learning new things and enjoying and committing myself to be better. My school have been extremely supportive and have been very encouraging about me continuing with higher education, again demonstrating how schools are learning organisations for all, not just the children.

I really enjoy exploring strategies and sharing strategies with other teachers across Wales to share what practices we do in the classroom. The MA Education (Wales) has created a line of enquiry for my ALN aspirations, I think ALN is so important, especially both in education and in society at the moment and having specific modules that cater for exploring and studying this topic has definitely made me explore my own pedagogic styles and strategies.”

“For those thinking of getting into teaching I absolutely recommend it. It is tough and tiring sometimes but to me these negatives are outweighed by playing a part in a someone’s future and help guiding them to where they need to be. I am lucky to have landed a teaching job straight from my PGCE and I will be teaching years 7-11 at a Secondary school in Cardiff.”

“I studied an Early Years degree with the intentions of becoming a primary school teacher. However I wanted something different, something that would challenge me, make me think, and ultimately make a difference to other people’s lives. I decided to do a master’s course and found the MA Youth and Community Work. Once I had an interview with the course leader it just reinforced that I was doing the right thing. During the MA I obtained a work placement at Cardiff Council and from there I never looked back. There is nothing better than putting what you learn into practice. Following this I secured a full-time position as a Youth Mentor where I now fully appreciate the importance of the Youth Mentor role and impact they have on young people’s lives. I’m now an Into Work Assistant Co-Ordinator for three separate projects helping young people in the Cardiff area.”
