PGCE in Secondary Education (Science with Chemistry) with recommendation for QTS

The Brunel University London ITE Partnership Curriculum is an ambitious curriculum which has been developed with our Partnership Schools, and our accredited provider, Bath Spa University. It is a carefully sequenced and integrated curriculum which comprises 8 components:

  • Professional behaviours and responsibilities
  • Subject, pedagogical and curricular knowledge
  • How pupils learn
  • Planning for Learning
  • Adaptive teaching and inclusion
  • Assessment of pupils
  • Managing behaviour and the environment for learning
  • Pupil health and wellbeing

 

Throughout the programme you will gain, apply and refine your knowledge of teaching, pedagogy and classroom skills. A blended approach to learning has been adopted which provides face to face teaching as well as time to access key materials online and opportunities exist for you to meet and learn from current classroom practitioners.

 

As part of your academic award, you will undertake assignments which will contribute 60 credits towards a Masters award. These assignments are informed by the relevant research literature and theories that will complement and enrich your professional practice whilst enabling you to develop your subject and phase expertise.

 

School teaching is an intensely rewarding yet challenging profession. The opportunity to help shape children’s futures is both a privilege and a responsibility.

 

As a Chemistry teacher you will foster an appreciation of the achievements of chemistry in showing how the complex and diverse phenomena of both the natural and man-made worlds can be described in terms of a number of key ideas which can be applied universally.
