Course programme
This course, based at the University of Worcester, is appropriate for individuals wanting to become primary teachers and gain QTS status alongside wanting to work with children in alternative educational contexts. Graduates entering initial primary teacher training would benefit from a specialism in outdoor learning. Graduates choosing to work in an alternative educational context might pursue careers with outdoor education organisations or in peripatetic instruction in educational contexts including schools.
This exciting degree course provides training and experiences for those who are enthused by the dynamic role that learning outdoors can play in the academic and social development of children. The course blends key training and skills in a range of outdoor activities with a detailed examination of learning and primary education. It prepares you for teaching in primary schools (non-QTS) and provides the skills and opportunities for you to work in a range of outdoor education based establishments. This is a great foundation to progress onto a postgraduate teacher training course. There are a wide range of modules and opportunities for specialisation with a practical emphasis throughout. The University of Worcester works in partnership with Herefordshire and Ludlow College to provide an excellent blend of core skills and knowledge with specialist teaching.
Assessment is through academic, practical and a range of activities leading to the full qualification.
On completion of the course, students can enter employment within a range of primary school and outdoor education settings, including peripatetic educational outdoor instruction.
