The PGCE year is very different from your previous university studies; you will complete two school placements while engaging with academic texts, completing a variety of assignments and reflecting on your teaching practice.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>My number one tip would be to get yourself a diary or a planner to keep you organised. Your PGCE year is a very busy year so it is important that you keep on top of all of your lectures, independent study sessions, meetings and any other important dates you may have. This diary or planner will only become more essential as you transition into your placement so you can successfully plan and organise your time around your teaching hours. Organisation is one of the key skills which will help you succeed during your PGCE, so if this is something you struggle with head over to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edgehill.ac.uk\/departments\/support\/ls\/uni-skills\/getting-organised\/\">Getting Organised<\/a> webpage on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edgehill.ac.uk\/departments\/support\/ls\/uni-skills\/\">Uniskills webpages<\/a> for more.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The PGCE year is not just about getting practice teaching in your chosen area, you will also need to complete assignments based on teaching your subject specialism, or reflecting on your teaching practice. In your assignments you will be expected to be critical, a reflective practitioner and use a variety of academic sources. To help you with these skills, UniSkills offer a range of workshops that you can attend before you start your placement, which can be booked on the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edgehill.ac.uk\/departments\/support\/ls\/uni-skills\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">UniSkills webpages<\/a><\/em>. Those which will really benefit you for your PGCE include \u2018Being Critical\u2019, \u2018Finding Academic Information\u2019 and \u2018Powerful Presentations\u2019. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Lastly, if you need support during your PGCE, make sure you reach out to people, as well as dedicating time to relaxing with family and friends. While it is best to turn to your tutors for course-specific advice, if you would like some extra support with your academic skills, such as writing, referencing, finding information and more, you can also <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edgehill.ac.uk\/departments\/support\/ls\/uni-skills\/one-to-one-support\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>book a one-to-one <\/em>appointment<\/a><em> with an Academic Skills Advisor. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Your PGCE year will be one of the most rewarding years throughout all of your university studies, by following these tips you will find that you settle in to your PGCE, and can fully prepare for the exciting year ahead!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\" style=\"background-color:#72167e\">Further Help and Support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Phew!
