Travellers runs an optional Open Teacher Training Day designed to help those who would like to do a teaching placement but have no experience in teaching and are a little unsure about it. We hold intensive one-day seminars, based in London.

The cost of the day, which we have tried to keep as low as we possibly can, is £99 and includes lunch and tea/coffee and biscuits during morning and afternoon breaks.

   

2008 Dates (all courses are held on a Saturday):

  • 26th January
  • 26th April
  • 28th June
  • 04th October
  • 13th December

Content:
The day is designed to prepare you as well as possible for your teaching placement; not least, it will dispel some of your nervousness and give you confidence for when you get there!

Your teacher is Paul White, a qualified teacher and ecologist who has himself taken part in four Travellers projects and has visited first-hand a few more (read his Biography).

We hold courses in both London and Brighton. Follow the links to two very good websites on London & Brighton that has lots of information on restaurants, bars and pubs, hotels, clubs and cinemas... and lots more!

We will certificate the completion of the Training. Elements of the day will include:

  • Some essential teaching strategies.
  • Links from one lesson to the next,
  • Strengthening learning outcomes,
  • Motivating pupils in your classes,
  • Effective delivery,
  • Group involvement and control,
  • Class management and discipline,
  • Reviews, and
  • How to plan an effective scheme of work.

We will also include some essential practical advice regarding teaching in particular countries, as the classes, environments and teaching requirements do vary from country to country. Overall, we aim to remove some common apprehensions concerning teaching in general. Teaching can be fun! You'll also receive our detailed Teaching Suggestions Guide/Manual, which can be very effectively used on your placement. It must be emphasised that many hundreds of volunteers have very successfully completed their placements without the benefit of formal training and have used the Teaching Suggestions Guide very effectively. However, if you can participate in this course, it will add substantially to your preparation for your placement.

The course will also give you an opportunity to meet other volunteers who may be doing their placement at the same time and in the same place as you are.

“Hi Paul, [Paul runs Travellers Teaching and TEFL courses] What a lovely surprise to hear from you, of course I remember you and often think of that Saturday when I was so apprehensive about the venture I had somehow stumbled into!! You'll never know how worried I was about my ability to cope…especially as everyone else seemed so capable. However, it has turned out to be the best thing I ever did and I have to tell you that you helped me so much. You encouraged me and gave me a real boost. I absolutely love it here, I am living the African life and I have so many new friends. I am so excited about the new involvement and very thrilled that I was even considered. I never could have imagined the change in my life in the last 8 months, I'm a very different person from the one you saw at the Thistle Hotel. I feel younger (hope I look it!) have put a little weight on and am so very happy. Thank you to everyone at Travellers Worldwide, special thanks to you Paul.”
Travellers Volunteer Angela Cotton who attended the Teacher Training Day and was subsequently selected to be interviewed for a feature in Good Housekeeping Magazine.
