JOB ADVERT

I do not 'get' job adverts like the one below.

I am sorry but ANYONE who is interested in teaching should be invited to a Teacher Taster Course no matter what colour, ethnicity, disability etc,etc. Why separate people out. There is no need for the type of job advert as shown below.

Black and Minority Ethnic Teacher Taster Course
Have you thought about a career in secondary teaching?
If you are a graduate, or final year undergraduate, have GCSE (or equivalent) in English
and Maths and are seriously considering becoming a secondary teacher, this three day course could help you to make an informed career decision.
People from black and minority ethnic groups are under-represented in teaching.
This course is specifically designed to help suitably qualified people with a BME background to make an informed career decision.
Two tutored days will cover: * the current context for schools - curriculum * every child matters and extended schools * an introduction to learning, teaching and assessment * roles and responsibilities of members of the school community * the routes to qualified teacher status. A one day placement in a local school provides the opportunity to see teaching in action and talk to teachers.
Applications from under-represented groups are particularly welcomed.


Please lets stop all this political correctness!
