Browse Hierarchy PGCE6025: School Based Training 1 - Nursery

This module provides opportunities for trainees to gain an insight into the full professional life of a teacher. Trainees will address issues and challenges which arise in teaching and learning and develop a set of attitudes, skills and knowledge relevant to the expectations of the Teachers' Standards (DfE 2012).Through planning, teaching and assessment opportunities and subject expectations trainees will fulfil their potential as a reflective classroom practitioner in order to meet the Teachers? Standards. The placement will be in a Nursery setting. This module is the first of three main blocks of School-based Training placements (SBT), which will take place in the University's Partnership schools. This first placement will engage trainees in introductory activities based on the classroom environment where they will consider how learning takes place. Experience gained on each school-based placement will be built upon and invested in, in order to facilitate and accelerate trainee?s progress towards becoming an effective practitioner. Trainees will need to be successful in each element of SBT in order to pass the programme. It is successive in nature; trainees must be successful in SBT1 before moving to SBT2, and pass SBT2 before moving onto SBT3.
