Course content
Teaching mathematics is an exciting challenge. But you’ll help young people conquer a skill that they’ll use for the rest of their lives. Our PGCE helps you think like a teacher, understand how children learn and plan engaging lessons.
Many young people find mathematics complicated or dull. It will be your job to find creative ways to make maths enjoyable – whether you’re teaching students about probability or algebra.
We’ve designed this course to help you understand how to support KS3, KS4, and KS5 students. You’ll develop the skills you need to make sure young people enjoy problem solving and are able to reason mathematically.
Throughout your training, you’ll get hands-on experience on placement and spend time on campus developing your teaching skills.
From getting the most out of your induction, to tips on teaching your first lesson, your personal tutor will be there to support you on every step of your PGCE journey.
