Your learning is personalised across professional skills, subject knowledge, pedagogy, research and theory. You start by developing your knowledge of learning and explore a range of evidence-based teaching and assessment theories and strategies, in addition to your subject knowledge and subject-specific pedagogy. Throughout the course, you embed and refine your knowledge and skills, enhancing your own practice and subject expertise during school-based placements. You develop your ability to reflect on your practice through action research. You complete a small-scale research project within your subject area and undertake intensive teaching practices within school settings, allowing you to put your knowledge and understanding of education into practice. On placement you practice teaching strategies, learn how to manage a classroom environment, and develop evidence-based approaches from skilled professionals who share your passion for the subject area.
