About the Course
Develop as a highly qualified, effective and confident teacher of mathematics, with the knowledge and skills to teach a broad spectrum of mathematical concepts, including the use of investigational, collaborative and problem solving activities; and achieve Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).
This course develops you as a teacher with internationally recognised qualifications. It develops your ability to be an evidence informed teacher and one who is well placed to take advantage of further awards such as Chartered Teacher Status.
Why choose this course?
How will I be assessed?
The assessment strategy is based upon the premise that critical evaluation of theoretical perspectives as they apply to your own teaching is an intrinsic element of best teaching practice. Throughout the course, therefore, you will continually be encouraged to explore what is known about teaching and learning, and to demonstrate independence and creativity in evaluating the relevance of that knowledge in your own context. Sound subject knowledge is a fundamental quality of an effective teacher and you will be expected to demonstrate a commitment to ongoing development of that knowledge throughout the course in preparation for the final assessment. Also key to the course is a focus on the development of evidence informed teaching, culminating in an extended systematic study of your own practice.
