Are you committed to becoming a passionate teacher who can inspire pupils to realise the potential of this important and far-reaching subject? If so, then we're looking to train you on our PGCE Secondary in Computer Science! Our aim is to develop you into a teacher who enables pupils to use computational thinking and creativity to understand and change the world.
Youll be a key component of this core curriculum area, encouraging pupils' ability to problem solve using a variety of powerful modelling techniques. This course covers the 11-16 age range with post-16 enhancement. Your impact will be far-reaching, ensuring your pupils become creators of technology and not just consumers. You will help them develop transferable skills that can be used in a range of subject areas.
This course benefits from strong links with the British Computer Society (BCS) who are working with the Department of Education to develop the next generation of computing teachers through an organisation called Computing at School. The opportunities this partnership provides gives you a head start engaging with expert computing teachers throughout the West Midlands at regular hub meetings. You'll gain access to networking and subject development opportunities that are available.
Applicants are normally expected to have a minimum of a 2:2 honours degree or a Masters degree in a relevant subject from a UK higher education institution or equivalent.
