Learning Outcomes

Having successfully completed this module you will be able to:

• Demonstrate teaching competences to a range of learners.
• Evaluate the success of individual learning sessions.
• Use a range of data to reflect upon, analyse and plan future practice.
• Identify, analyse, discuss and evaluate components of good and outstanding teaching.
• Differentiate where appropriate between learners and develop suitable learning interactions to meet the needs of all.
• Analyse how they meet the professional standards.
• Develop the Reflective Practice skills of the learner to allow them to reflect upon and evaluate their own performance and progress.
• Develop action plans and targets for your professional development which are regularly monitored and updated.
• Challenge and stretch learners to maximise their development
• Demonstrate your ability to ensure the health, safety and well-being of learners in the learning environment.
• Demonstrate appropriate subject specific knowledge.
• Demonstrate ability to plan and manage the learning process using an appropriate range of inclusive teaching and learning strategies.

The student will learn the theories associated with good teaching and learning in professional development contexts. They will develop the range of their teaching skills and become progressively more innovative and independent in the classroom. As they progress, students will be required to reflect on their style and role as a teacher and how they might continue to develop.

Trainees will teach peers in a classroom situation. They will plan, prepare, build resources, teach lessons, reflect on their practice and react to observations from peers and tutors. All the trainees will receive regular feedback with personalised targets set to improve practice. The Teaching and Learning methods will be personalised to support each trainee's individual needs and requirements using whole class, lecture, discussion, seminar groups, peer learning sets and self-directed study. All trainees will then continue their development in their own workplace and in their first in-service teaching role, whilst receiving support from more experienced practitioners, mentors, subject specialists and University teaching staff.
