Secondary PGCE with QTS: Mathematics, PGCert

COURSE OVERVIEW

Welcome to Swansea University's Schools Partnership (PYPA), a new way for school and university staff to work together to ensure that 'Tomorrow's Teachers' have the skills and experience they need to make a difference to pupils in Wales.

Qualified Maths teachers are in high demand across the UK. PYPA has developed an innovative PGCE Secondary Mathematics program that will give those entering the teaching profession the confidence to understand their subject better and their understanding of how to teach it. This program will prepare you to make a positive contribution to the learning communities you join. PYPA's PGCE Secondary Mathematics program is complemented by regional, national and international research. You will learn how to make Maths meaningful, interesting and fun and also how to analyze your own and your pupils' development.

PYPA's rigorous and integrated PGCE program will challenge you both academically and professionally. The PGCE Mathematics program aims to develop a critical understanding of the nature of Mathematics and its place in the school curriculum. You will be encouraged to research and test your own approaches to Mathematics pedagogy to identify those approaches that work best for you and the pupils you teach. PYPA is committed to developing research-led, reflective practitioners who can demonstrate creativity and flexibility in their teaching so that learners develop their subject qualification in an environment that is enjoyable.
