Module Information
Year 1
The programme is designed to integrate subject knowledge (including sports science), professional attributes and professional teaching skills. The programme is challenging and intensive whilst being immensely enjoyable, we build a strong culture of support within the group and work on the ethos of collaborative learning. Year of the programme develops awareness of professional attributes, knowledge and skills linking theory to practice.
Year 2
Year 2 of the programme progressively tackles a student teacher’s ability to put theory into practice, and to effectively plan, deliver, evaluate and reflect upon learning and teaching episodes. Trainees develop their own range of teaching and learning strategies. The programme creatively contextualises key areas of subject knowledge within the curriculum. A variety of activities, both traditional and alternative in nature are utilised to support this development.
Year 3
Year 3 forms a professional year where the majority of time is spent in partnership schools. Student teachers build upon the first two years looking at the state of
current play and future directions of the profession. Student teachers will experience school-based placement in a range of educational settings. Student teachers will be involved in the design of a personalised programme to ensure their training needs are met.
