Course Summary

Course overview Teaching secondary-age children is your chance to share your passion for your subject and inspire the next generation. English as a curriculum subject is of vital importance. Not only does it help students to become clear communicators in both speech and writing but it also encourages them to analyse and appreciate the texts they encounter throughout their lives. By becoming an English teacher, you will be instrumental in enabling students to develop these essential skills. The course provides you with the requisite knowledge and experiences to plan and teach engaging and effective English lessons and to develop your capacity to assess learning as you begin your teaching career. On successful completion of this degree and having met the Teachers’ Standards, you will be recommended for Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). All our PGCE Secondary courses lead to the award of a level 7 Postgraduate Certificate in Education. Assessment At the end of each placement your school mentor, who will have supported you throughout your time in school, will assess your practice, using evidence from the whole of your time in school, including observations, lesson plans and marked work. You’ll complete a progress portfolio to collate evidence of your teaching practice. At the end of the course, we will use this evidence to show that you have met the Teachers’ Standards. You’ll also complete two level 7 Master’s assignments to test your ability to be critically reflective and research-led in your approach to teaching.

Modules

Introduction to Teaching
You'll complete three months of integrated training, in which you’ll spend three days a week, then four days a week in your Stage A school. The other days will be spent learning with your peers, in order to support you in becoming a skillful teacher who is an expert in English pedagogy.
