Train as a history teacher on our versatile, immersive PGCE Secondary History course at the Institute of Education. You will be trained to teach children from 11 years old until their GCSE exams, and beyond this to A-level. Inspiring children to learn about history can be a very rewarding career. This course combines theory, research and practical classroom teaching to develop your skills as a teacher. You’ll attend workshops, seminars and individual sessions with experienced academic mentors. You will also gain significant practical classroom experience with children of different ages. Throughout your course, you will learn how to: teach pupils about causation, change and continuity, similarity and difference, and difficult concepts, develop pupils’ evidential thinking and chronological understanding, plan lessons, from the creation of individual activities to lessons and sequences of lessons designed to support pupils’ learning of history, make big decisions about the curriculum for example, which period of history to teach and when to teach it. In order to achieve this, you will be supported by tutors who work closely with mentors in schools to ensure that high professional standards are maintained.
You are normally required to have at least a 2:2 honours degree (or equivalent from a university outside the UK) in a subject that is related to the subject you intend to teach. You will need to have achieved Grade 4 (or C) or above in GCSE Mathematics and English Language or equivalent qualifications. As part of the application process for this programme, you will be required to attend an interview. You will also need to demonstrate competence in Fundamental English and mathematics by the end of the course. This is a new DfE requirement which replaces the QTS skills tests in literacy and numeracy. If you accept an offer with us you will also be required to successfully complete Occupational Health and Disclosure Barring Service (DBS) Enhanced Disclosure checks.
