Education roles Ready to get the next generation excited about STEM? Apply your existing knowledge of your specialist subject and develop the professional expertise expected of secondary school teachers. You will already hold a foundation degree or HND in a STEM subject, and may be working outside of education but thinking of making a change to become a teacher. By doing so, you will develop your understanding of how to teach your specialist subject, as well as approaches to teaching in both theoretical and applied contexts, and curriculum subject knowledge.
