Course programme

Course breakdown

There are no set modules for this route. In your setting, you will be assigned a mentor to help you complete an action plan as part of your induction. Over the 12 weeks, you will be observed while you teach within your classroom. Your teaching performance will be assessed and evaluated and you will be provided with feedback. The evidence you provide will be compared against the standards and observations and a final judgement will be made determining your success.

You are required to submit a 1,500 word essay/report detailing how you have developed three areas of classroom practice (e.g. assessment, behaviour management, differentiation). Some pedagogical theory should be applied.

Teaching and assessment

There are no lectures on this route, but you will be assessed on your ability to teach effectively and to provide evidence that you have met all of the standards for Qualified Teaching Status.

Our teaching and assessment is underpinned by our Teaching, Learning and Assessment Strategy 2015-2020
