Why Teacher Training?
Train in one school. You’ll do most of your training in one school, giving you immediate opportunities to practise the theory you’ve learnt in a classroom, supported by teaching experts.
Be guided by a mentor. You will be paired with an experienced teacher who will make sure you are supported through your training.
Benefit from blended learning. Benefit from the high-quality academic training you’d expect to get from a university with immersive classroom learning.
Develop your expertise with evidence-based training. A high-quality curriculum, backed by the latest research and evidence, will help you focus on developing your expertise in your chosen subject (secondary) or phase (primary).
Have a balanced workload. This Teacher Training is designed to build your confidence in the classroom and respect your need for a life away from work.
Feel confident teaching. You’ll spend lots of time with subject experts going into depth about how to teach your subject (or subjects if teaching primary) in the most effective way.
How this programme differs from other teacher training options
This Teacher Training allows you to do most of your training in one school. You can put your academic learning into practice in a structured, step-by-step way, with your mentor and peers, before taking it live in the classroom.
Your dedicated mentor will be an experienced teacher who works in your school. They will provide one-to-one guidance and support throughout your training.
