From TA to PGCE: My Wild Leap Into the Unknown!

Dear friends, let me pull back the curtain on my next big adventure: I’m leaving my familiar TA/tutor role and plunging headfirst into a university-led PGCE in Primary Education this September. Sounds exciting, right? But here’s the twist—my father’s dementia has turned my world upside down, and I’m juggling more than just lesson plans. I crave your wisdom: How do you balance the mountain of coursework with the emotional rollercoaster at home? Time management feels like a myth some days! If you’ve walked this path, please share your survival hacks, or even your cautionary tales. Maybe I’m missing a secret shortcut? Let’s swap stories and build a toolkit together—because honestly, I’m all ears (and nerves)! 🌪️ Have I overlooked something obvious?
