Teaching offers a wonderfully varied career to many individuals who are talented, ambitious and love to learn. However, the teaching industry has changed a lot over the past few years. It has become far more technology driven, with even subjects like the arts drawing on new influences and giving children the opportunity to learn online and to learn in totally new ways. Here are some of the ways you can tell if teaching might be right for you:

• Use all the resources available to you to find out more. Read articles online, read eBooks and look at online forums about teaching.
• Get some work experience in a school. Send out some emails to find out whether any schools in your local area have some spare time to show you the ropes.
• Talk to teachers. This doesn’t have to be in person – you can use online platforms as well to get some first-hand accounts of the profession.
