Browse Hierarchy A202CES: Teacher Training Taster

This module gives students insight, knowledge and practical experience of teaching training and is a ‘must’ for students who are seriously considering pursuing a career in teaching. It introduces students to the landscape of the teaching profession, the role of the modern day teacher (including guest speakers from various education settings) and the different routes into teacher teaching including support with the application process. Students will also learn some basic pedagogy such as key teaching theories and methods, learning styles and planning and evaluation to enable students to deliver their own mini teaching session towards the end of the module. Constructive evaluation and feedback from teaching professionals and peers is a key element of the module. Students will also be encouraged to attend teaching fairs/presentations and engage in relevant networking opportunities. This module aims to help students decide if the teaching profession is for them and, if so, to give students the competition edge when applying for teaching training avenues.
