PostgraduateCourse summary
The course is delivered at University Centre Myerscough and awarded by the University of Central Lancashire. Teaching is a challenging but rewarding profession, one where you will use your enthusiasm and talents to really make a difference. Our programmes will equip you to educate and influence your learners and help them fulfil their potential. On the part-time programme you will spend time each week in class working on the theoretical modules and classroom fundamentals. Your Tutors will model good teaching practice that you can use in your own teaching. Ideally your teaching placement/employment will be spread out over the year so you will spend time teaching each week. There is also a requirement for you to study in your own time each week, working on preparing for teaching, and completing module assignments and reading.
Assessment method
The teaching, learning and assessment strategies used on the programme are varied and dependent upon active participation and interaction within groups. There are no examinations, so assessment is continuous and is based upon the completion of appropriate assignments, the observation of your teaching and the general gathering together of evidence to demonstrate that the Professional Standards for Teachers and Trainers in Education and Training – England (ETF 2014) have been achieved. This evidence must be collated in your Teaching Practice Portfolio which contains the various proformas required for logging your evidence of experience and learning and for reflecting on the achievement.
