Overview
The PGCE English programme will support students in developing a range of pedagogical knowledge necessary to teach English effectively and engage pupils in 11-18 schools. It will encourage trainees to reflect on the nature of English teaching; to develop an appreciation of the changing role of English within the Secondary school curriculum; and introduce them to the range of learning activities which comprise the English National Curriculum, including a focus on ICT, new media, and drama. This part of the course aims to develop and integrate subject pedagogy and theory with classroom practice and equip student teachers with the skills necessary to become reflective and effective teachers of English across all age phases.
All Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) courses at Liverpool Hope offer students the opportunity to combine a programme of theory with real world experience. The initial professional development focuses on what underpins the work of an effective and successful teacher, while school placements offer you the opportunity to put theory into practice.
Initial Professional Development (IPD): This part of the programme covers the general, more holistic aspects of becoming a teacher. It is largely lecture-based supported by discussion-based seminars with an assigned professional tutor. IPD develops the student teacher's knowledge and understanding of a range of key issues in education.
