PURPOSEFor those wishing to train as teachers of pupils aged
11-18 in the following subjects: Classics, English, Information and
Communication Technology & Computing, Mathematics, Modern
Foreign Languages (French, German or Spanish), Religious Education
or Science (Biology, Chemistry, Physics or Physics with Maths). The
programme will lead to the DfE Standards for QTS which are assessed
through teaching practice observation, portfolios and written
assignments.
DESCRIPTIONThe programme combines the theory and practice of
education. We work in close partnership with schools in designing,
delivering and assessing our course.
College based: You will work with other trainees and tutors in your
subject area to consider the principles and practice of teaching
your subject including curriculum design, the development of
materials, classroom management and lesson planning. You will also
work with trainees from other subjects in a programme of lectures
and seminar groups to examine broad generic issues. During both
secondary school placements there are occasional days in college
for tutorials to support and monitor progress towards the standards
for Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). There are cross-curricular
research tasks and assignments.
School based: For 24 of the 36 weeks the training takes place in
schools, mainly in two complementary secondary schools but with two
short primary school experiences. This introduces you to
recognising key constituents of good teaching, helps develop your
own teaching skills and gain an understanding of how schools work
and how children learn. Some Modern Languages trainees undertake
part of their teaching practice in France, Spain, Austria or
Germany, funded by the Erasmus programme.
