مخطط البرنامج
It's a one-year, full-time, Level 7 Higher Education course leading to a recommendation for Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). The program focuses on developing reflective practitioners who continuously improve their knowledge, understanding, and skills. The curriculum covers all areas of the secondary English curriculum, linking theory and practice. Bradford College sessions are practical and address subject knowledge, teaching techniques (pedagogy), and professionalism needed to support students. The course strongly links theory and practice through school placements, meeting the minimum entitlement outlined in the ITT: Core Content Framework within a curriculum designed by Leeds Trinity University. Support is provided by tutors and mentors in college and schools. Successful completion provides the training and expertise to build skills and knowledge for confidence in the classroom as an ECT, including planning, teaching, class management, assessment, recording, reporting, and understanding professional responsibilities. While it mentions that all areas of the secondary English curriculum are covered and that Level 7 academic modules are completed, specific module titles and descriptions are absent.
Assessment:
Formative assessment occurs throughout school-based training, mapping progress against core competencies with summary judgments at each stage. This provides feedback on strengths and areas for development. A summative assessment, using the Teachers’ Standards as a benchmark, is conducted at the end of school-based training. Meeting the Teachers’ Standards leads to a QTS recommendation from Leeds Trinity University.
Teaching:
The program uses a blended approach, combining relevant, practically-based sessions at Bradford College with school placements. Experienced mentors in both settings provide support. The teaching emphasizes the connection between theory and practice.
Careers:
Successful completion prepares graduates for a career as an Early Career Teacher (ECT) in secondary schools. The program equips them with the skills and knowledge needed to plan, teach, manage a class, and handle assessment, recording, and reporting. It also addresses the professional responsibilities and accountability aspects of teaching.
Other:
School experience is a vital component, with placements arranged within the 11-16 age range in Bradford and surrounding areas. The program aims to provide a wide range of experiences to meet the needs of students from across the region. Strong links with local schools contribute significantly to the training. The program is delivered in partnership with Leeds Trinity University, which acts as the accredited provider.
