but check out the job situation before you do anything. we have 2 probationer teachers at the school at the moment. they did a year and have spent a year with a class. unfortunately there are no jobs available, yet there has been a big teaching push. 2010 there are supposed to be vacancies[/quote
This is true. However you8 pretty much always get long term supply work (mostly) and that can be good when gaining experience.
As for the chartered teacher thing - yes, your masters has to be in teaching! In fact, it is a very specific Chartered Teacher masters degree that is designed to prove that you have enhanced practice in the class. You can get accreditation for work that you have done, but you have to be able to prove that you have had impact in the class.
However, i have to say that teaching is by no means an easy option. In order to do your job properly, you need to be prepared to put in some hard work. A teacher can have enormous influence on any child, negatively or positively, and that is not something that should be taken lightly.
On the flip side, yes the hols are good!!!
