On our three-year course, you’ll develop the professional skills you need to become a teacher, such as ways to teach reading, writing, mathematics and science, how to teach creatively across all curriculum subjects and strategies for developing learning plans for your pupils including how to plan effective lessons which promote pupil progress.You’ll also develop strong research skills, learning how to interpret the latest educational research and incorporate it into your teaching methods. This is so you can draw on research to guide your teaching in the classroom, innovate your approaches to classroom management and find solutions to issues that may arise.Some of the concepts you’ll explore include how children develop and learn, including the influence of children’s backgrounds on their learning, theories that support teaching and how to overcome barriers to learning in children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. You will also reflect on your personal experiences and examine how these will shape your future teacher identity.You’ll go on school placements in each year of study, gaining experience in teaching every phase from 3–11 year-olds, so that you can teach in Early Years through to Key Stage Two when you graduate.
