There are two blocks of school experience, one starting in the autumn and the other in the spring. You will spend time observing other teachers and their classes before beginning to teach yourself. You will teach more during the second school experience than you will in the first one. During the year you will also spend time in two primary schools so that you can see what pupils experience before they arrive in secondary schools.
You will spend some of your time in college working in a group with
other Physics with Maths trainees. You will also spend some time
working with students from other subjects ranging from ICT to
Classics.
The course includes residential fieldwork based a Field Studies
Council centre in Surrey. There are many other opportunities for
you to develop your abilities to teach beyond the classroom, in the
school grounds and beyond.
You will be well supported by your personal tutor and by your
school-based mentors. There are weekly meetings with your mentor
and seven personal tutorials throughout the year. The College
tutors have all taught in London schools and many have published in
science education journals, both professional and academic.
