About the course

This is a professional development course for new and experienced teacher educators involved in pre-service and in-service education who are interested in increasing their knowledge and skills base required for effective and inspirational teacher education whilst ‘on the job’.

This two-year, part-time course is a world first, bringing together teacher educators in the UK, EU and internationally and provides an Oxford University master's-level qualification for anyone involved in pre-service and in-service teacher education.

  • school-based teacher educators, coaches and mentors.
  • university tutors involved in teacher education, such as university tutors on taught education programmes or based in university subject departments with some teacher education responsibilities
  • advisory teachers and fieldworkers
  • professional development providers.

The course focuses on developing teacher educators’ day-to-day practice as well as developing areas such as the design and teaching of teacher education programmes, the ability to conduct research to develop practice, and the ability to participate in debates about teaching and teacher education in your own subject. It is designed to be integral to the participants’ day-to-day practice as teacher educators and blends online distance learning with one-week residential components in Oxford in years one and two.

Assessment

Assessment will be through an assignment for each of the three distance online units, plus a dissertation in the second year of the course.

Areas covered in the assessments include.

  • exploring teachers’ beliefs about teaching and learning in your subject
  • developing teachers’ knowledge bases in your subject
  • analysing and developing teacher education sessions and programmes
  • analysis and critique of research articles
  • links between theory and practice
  • construction of arguments for particular processes
  • implications for teacher education.

Graduate destinations

This course is intended to provide the first systematic and sustained education for new and experienced teacher educators that are both school and university-based. The course will enhance the participants’ skills as teacher educators and their ability to develop their practice through research, and to contribute to the education research community through their research activity including publications to professional and academic research journals.
