Hi how is everyone? I have applied for the Postgraduate Diploma in education in NUIM and I was wondering how does one go about sorting out getting teaching experience in a school? Any advice would be welcome.

Wait till you get an offer in April.

Then write to/call into as many principals as possible within commuting distance of NUIM.

If you have any connections with a school - the school you went to, one you might have subbed in etc that should be your first port of call.

It can be difficult sometimes to organise a school, but you'll get something!

Thanks, so it is just asking principals. Much Appreciated.

Once you get the offer be very quick, particularly if you are doing it in UCD and would like a school relativly close to the college

do it asap when u get your offer. even before that if you have ties with schools. I left it pretty late this year, I wasn't even fully sure of the process so was very lucky to end up getting a school. Also, I have heard of people having to turn down the offer because they did not get a place to do their TP. Not saying that to scare you, just make sure you don't forget about it or anything!good luck
