"The internship was a really eye-opening experience for me and helped solidify my interest in teaching. All the staff I worked with at North East SCITT were very helpful, giving me lots of advice about teaching that will help me in my future career. It was a really good opportunity to be able to learn pedagogical theory, observe first-hand how experienced teachers teach, and even do some teaching myself! This internship has not only helped me gain professional skills, but also personal skills like self-confidence and time management. I cannot recommend this internship enough!"
