Gain broad teaching skills, and qualify as a secondary mathematics teacher, with our PGCE Secondary Maths at the Institute of Education. At the University of Reading, we understand how important it is for children to develop competent mathematical skills to thrive in adult life. Your role as a secondary education mathematics teacher is pivotal in achieving this. This course will train you how to teach mathematics to children from 11 years old to their GCSE exams, and beyond to A-level. How you’ll learn: This PGCE course will give you a varied learning experience, ranging from theoretical presentations to in-classroom placements. Your learning will be divided into seminars, workshops, lectures and practical teaching in the classrooms. You’ll be mentored by experienced teachers throughout the process so you can develop your own style whilst learning from other professionals. Throughout your course, you will: engage in active discussions of teaching theory and practice, write assignments which connect theory to your in-classroom teaching, attend workshops and individual tutorials with experienced teaching professionals, build up significant classroom experience with different age groups, work on tasks in groups, visit schools or other education settings.
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.
