Course summary
UEL is working with TES Institute to deliver a one-year online International Postgraduate Certificate in Education (iPGCE) programme for educators working outside the UK. The course will provide opportunities to explore key aspects of learning and teaching in the context of international school systems and to develop individual practice through critical engagement and research on practice.
Modules
Developing effective subject knowledge and pedagogy (Core Modules) Investigating strategies for raising pupil learning and achievement (Core Modules) Assessed Teaching Practicum - Core for Hong Kong Students (Core Modules) The Assessed Teaching Practicum module will give you the opportunity to develop your practical teaching skills through a programme of lesson observations, mentor meetings, practical study sessions, and critical reflective practice. There will be a developmental visit from an assessor to provide targets for your teaching in the second term of the iPGCE, followed by a final, formal assessment at the end, enabling you to apply for Teacher Registration in Hong Kong.
Assessment method
Your programme will consist of two core modules that blend applied teaching theory with practice, focusing on the relevant aspects of the professional role of a teacher as well as the aligned Teachers' Standards. All work will be assessed against the learning outcomes for each module. You'll have the opportunity to explore key features of learning and teaching in the context of international school systems, while developing your own practice through critical engagement and research on practice in your online learning modules.
