Course programme
Our one year pre-service programme is run in partnership with the University of East London (UEL). Over the year, you will explore the theoretical, sociological and practical aspects of becoming a good teacher. Whatever your specialist area of study, you could pass on your knowledge and expertise to other people. You will learn as you teach through a supported teaching placement which is underpinned by the taught elements of the course.
Your studies will include the following topics:
- the psychological background to planning teaching and learning;
- managing student behaviour;
- supporting students with specific needs;
- educational policies and procedures;
- how to manage the learning environment;
- developing resources and approaches to teaching and learning.
