Gymraeg Cwmnedd.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite unprecedented times, Adam Marsden, who is completing the salaried route for the Postgraduate Certificate in Education at the Open University, feels confident in his ability and future as a teacher.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe new challenges that all student teachers had to take on this year has shown our capability to adapt and persevere when things become difficult,\u201d said Mr Marsden.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Virtual learning has been an adjustment for all teachers, but this can be especially daunting for a trainee or newly qualified teacher as they try to build relationships with the pupils.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI felt the children couldn\u2019t learn as much as face to face, not every child was engaged and there was only so much variation I could do online,\u201d he said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Differing learning abilities and attempting to accommodate every child and parent made the job seem \u201calmost impossible\u201d said Mr Thomas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Andrew Marsh, a student teacher at Cardiff Metropolitan University, said forming relationships with the pupils was difficult when teaching online but has seen it as a positive opportunity to enhance his skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt has given me an insight into both Google classrooms and blended learning and my digital competence has massively increased,\u201d he said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr Marsden, 29, added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cWe are the student teachers who had to come up with creative ways to engage learners and track their progress through many different online platforms.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI feel these skills will carry positively into future teaching endeavours.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the PGCE being different to what was expected because of lockdown, Mr Marsh, said he has still received valuable experience from the course.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr Marsden, also describes his PGCE experience as a positive one, despite the circumstances. In 2020 he was able to teach face-to-face:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDuring this period, I was able to gain invaluable insight from my mentor and other teachers in the school with plenty of opportunity to get involved with teaching lessons and activities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr Marsh, 22, is looking forward to being back in the classroom, \u201cprior to the Christmas break I found myself enjoying the role of a teacher\u201d.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since returning to the classroom two weeks ago, Mr Thomas has noticed a decline in some children\u2019s ability to write and their fluency in Welsh.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He has adopted a \u201cback to basics\u201d approach in order to help the children adjust back into school life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr Thomas, 21, feels frustrated that teachers aren\u2019t prioritised in the vaccine roll-out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve just started doing these lateral flow tests, which give you results in half an hour. It\u2019s kind of frustrating I feel. The government feel the need for constant testing, but we aren\u2019t prioritised for the vaccine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Wales the <a href=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/2021\/02\/26\/wales-will-not-prioritise-specific-occupations-for-coronavirus-vaccine\/\">vaccine roll-out <\/a>began with prioritising key workers and is now based on age groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Laura Doel, Director of National Association Head Teachers Cymru said:&nbsp;\u201cOur education workforce is being relied upon to lead Wales out of the pandemic. They are being required to work with large groups of people who carry at least as much potential for infection as anyone else.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA sick teacher is a teacher away from class which will mean further disruption to a pupil\u2019s education and could well mean that they may need to be educated from home again.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some describe online learning as &#8216;almost impossible&#8217; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":548,"featured_media":51619,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7152,3],"tags":[1022,224,183,1564,1565,7153],"coauthors":[6720],"class_list":["post-51615","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-a-year-of-covid-in-cardiff","category-news","tag-covid-19","tag-education","tag-school","tag-teacher-training","tag-teachers","tag-trainee-teacher"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 -
