Working in Student Union is enjoyable and good for career service. The wifi is all across the university which is again good. I had to pay for clubs and societies which was annoying and suggest to do more facilities.

Course programme
One year part-time, semi-distance learning programme with designated Keele University tutor support throughout:
Taught Modules:
Learners, Learning and Assessment (30 credits):
This module examines the relationship between learning theories and classroom practice; Students will consider questions such as what do we know about how students learn? How do these ideas affect our practice as educators? What factors affect student learning? How might we take those factors into account when deciding what we want students to know understand and be able to do? How has the concept of multiple intelligences affected classroom practice? Why do we assess students? Who decides what to assess? How fit for purpose are the assessment instruments that we use?
International Educational Practice (15 credits):
This module explores the changing world of international education, especially international schools in Asia. It reflects on the ‘nature’ of international identity, both for teachers and students, and critically explores what it means to be ‘international’ in an educational context together with associated practices. In examining the diverse character of international education, the module also encourages course members to reflect on identity elements such as gender, race, class, ethnicity and culture.
Creative Practice (15 credits):
The module will critically examine definitions of creativity as applied to classroom practice, course members will be asked to consider the perspective from which creativity is defined and the criteria that are used as the basis for the definition. Students will explore the practical implications of teaching creatively and teaching for creativity and will have the opportunity to critically examine alternative models of learning and teaching and how can they be incorporated into their practice.
Programme includes 12 weeks main teaching practice (15 credits), which is undertaken in your current school.
