Schools Direct - advice would be much appreciated!

[Shaggy]

Hi All,

Calling teachers, trainee teachers, or anybody who can help really.

I'm planning on applying to become a primary school teacher under the Schools Direct programme.

I had planned to take lots of holiday time out of work during 2014 to shadow teachers etc, and then apply in November 2014 for entry in 2015.

However I've very recently discovered that I am going to be out of a job in March, so I am going to apply this November for entry in September 2014.

The problem is that I haven't shadowed anybody yet, which strikes me as a bit of a problem in my application.

Can anybody please help me out? If any teacher would allow me to spend a day shadowing them, that would be really really great. But also any help and advice about how to prepare for an application quickly, that I had planned on spending a year working on......

Gulp!
