Coventry Editorial 6th May, 2022   0

COVENTRYS next generation of teachers are invited to join a virtual ‘Train to Teach’ event to find out more about life in the role.

The two hour event will take place from 5pm on Tuesday May 10 and will feature local languages teacher Tom Ricketts, who will discuss his experiences and insights.

The session is part of the Get into Teaching campaign and aims to inspire more people to become a teacher and help to develop the next generation.

As well as teachers, the event will include expert advisers who will be able to help those interested in pursuing a career take the next steps, including giving advice on training options.




A survey by Get into Teaching showed that 40% of adults in England work in a job or career directly related to one of their favourite school subjects.

In addition, 74% of those who had a favourite subject said that their teachers passion for it helped to spark their interest.


Tom Ricketts said: “Teaching is such a varied role, from the emotional rewards of making students feel like anything is possible, to using your experience to bring lessons to life – no two days are the same.

“The best part of it for me is teaching something I love and sharing this passion with students, as well as helping them to grow and making a difference to their lives and futures.

“I know the impact good teachers can have on a child, not just in terms of academic success but in teaching a child the importance of social skills, promoting resilience, self-worth and confidence.”
