Course programme
- Over the one year course, you undertake two periods of University-based learning at Walsall Campus, and you spend at least 120 days divided between two different schools determined by the school direct alliance.
- All course modules provide examples of good practice in teaching which you will reflect upon as you develop your own teaching style. You will be expected to participate actively in your own learning and development
- Teaching on the course reflects a variety of methods that will prepare you for life in the classroom including teacher-led debates, pupil-led exploration, peer-group discovery and the provision of individual targets. You will be assessed in a variety of ways including written assignments, classroom based investigation and other school-based activities and appraisal of practical teaching skills. The majority of teaching sessions will be alongside trainees from the other the science routes.
- All University-based elements of the course take place at the Walsall Campus.
- Typical modules may include
- Observation of teaching, before undertaking ‘sheltered’ teaching activities, for example teaching parts of lessons or groups of pupils within a class
- Progression to teaching single or short sequences of lessons
- Further development through planned classroom activities
- Development of teaching skills as you move to sustained sequences of lessons
- Research in the University and school on the use of ICT in the teaching of your subject
