Course content
This course will help you develop a deep understanding of planning, teaching and assessment strategies, along with helping you to get the most out of new technologies.
It will help you to develop links between practice, theory and research through reflection on your own teaching, in order to enhance your professional performance.
Although you don’t need to be a practising teacher to apply for the programme, you’ll need to engage actively with current teaching, including planning, conducting and reflecting on a lesson (module 1). If you don’t currently teach, you should be in a position where you have access to an education environment, for example through volunteering in a classroom setting or as a personal tutor.
