It’s an exciting, intense, and competitive route into teaching – challenging - but you’ll develop the experience, understanding and confidence to excel in the classroom. We’ll work with you to secure placement that meets your needs and ambitions and you’ll receive a bursary of £10 per day of placement.You'll be part of a smaller group of trainees at ARU, meaning you'll receive a much more personalised training experience that considers your individual needs. You'll have the opportunity to shape your own training, so you can learn in the way that suits you and develop your own areas of focus.We're looking to select the most dedicated and ambitious future teachers which is why we interview for all places on our BEd Primary Education with QTS. It also gives you the chance to get to know us and explore all that we have to offer too.You’ll experience creating, implementing, and evaluating lesson plans and resources and be fully equipped with the professional skills to create a safe and happy classroom that supports pupils’ learning.With deep dives into a range of core professional issues including assessment, behaviour management, lesson planning, special educational needs and working well with parents and colleagues, you’ll develop personalised specialisms, finding your own interests and passions in this exciting field of education.Our degree is aligned with the Department for Education’s Teachers’ Standards and related Core Content Framework, so you’ll be fully prepared for all the requirements to be qualified to teach the 5-11 age range. But more than that, our innovative teaching approaches, like our Ruskin modules and Specialist Focus Project, give you the opportunity to expand your knowledge as a teacher, considering the wider concerns and needs that face children and families within a Primary School and the local community.You’ll leave our BEd degree having had a wide range of classroom experiences, including school placements each year, building up to taking 80% responsibility for a class in your third year. You’ll be assessed teaching in both Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2, so you can be confident that you’ll be ready to thrive as an early career teacher.With a high level of personal support throughout your course, including in-school mentors trained to support you to maximise your placement, you’ll be set challenging goals and encouraged to reflect deeply at every opportunity.From unique training opportunities to world-class wellbeing support, get into teaching with a training experience you simply can't get elsewhere.Find out more about our Initial Teacher Training, including selection events and partnership opportunities: https://www.aru.ac.uk/arts-humanities-education-and-social-sciences/education/initial-teacher-training
