What University Is A Good One To Go To For Primary School Teaching?We Answered:
i'm in the U.S. - but I would imagine that there are review and such of your schools online.On a side note... i don't know about England... but teachers in the U.S. are not well-paid, and almost no one wants to be a teacher. So, make sure you do the research.

Is Primary school teaching a good career for someone with aspergers syndrome?We Answered:
It's hard to really say without knowing exactly what complications you would see in terms of teaching with your Asperger's Syndrome. I actually think you might have many positive parts to being a teacher. People with Asperger's often tend to be very detail oriented, like sequential steps, and like things that logically make sense.Since you asked about Montessori, I think the structure of the Montessori environment is ideal for many children with Asperger's Syndrome. I believe it can be the same for a teacher who is also on the spectrum.
People said you have trouble picking up on social cues and that is a sign of Asperger's, but I've noticed it goes the other way as well. I think we (people who do not have Asperger's) have trouble picking up on your social cues. I think if you can educate children in that, you will be giving them a good gift.
You may also consider a team teaching situation if you can. This is probably the best option, especially until you figure out whether or not you would be able to work on whatever difficulties you would have.
I'm just thinking out loud. I hope, if this is truly your passion, you find a way to make it happen.

How do I obtain a primary school teaching position in Ireland. I live in the U.S. and have a teaching degree.?We Answered:
It is probably best to contact the Department of Education in any country where you'd like to teach.They will be able to tell you what qualifications they need.
They will also be able to tell you whether they have shortages of teachers in the subjects/age range you want to teach.
Naturally any suitably qualified EU candidates will be able to work in Ireland as a right. From the US you will need a work permit and will probably need to demonstrate that there is no one in Ireland that could do the job.

i want to study primary school teaching?We Answered:
Yes but you will need training. Here's a link for a university in Birmingham which has quite a good reputation. Go to the courses section and I'm sure there are loads of teaching courses. You don't even need to get A* for your a-levels so the fact that you have a degree already is brilliant.www.bham.ac.uk
