Teaching, learning and assessment methods
Teaching will be through a series of practice-focused strands making up the modules PGCE 1, 2 and 3. Each module will consist of strands focusing on curriculum, children’s learning, planning, teaching, assessment and professional role. The strands will be web-based and will consistently require the student to reflect on the inter-relationship between theory and practice.
The course is progressive, the same strands are returned to in each module and developed progressively. You’ll learn theories and concepts appropriate to your level of study. Your successful practice and assessment will let you progress to the next module.
Each module will be assessed through reflective essay responses to tasks and an eportfolio of evidence of progress in practice against the professional standards, lesson observations, mentor discussion records and formal assessment of teaching by a practice tutor.
