Embark upon academic and professional development for your career in education. This course is for anyone who has experience within a formal school environment, such as a teaching assistant role (paid or voluntary). In your study, you will explore all areas of teaching from early years, throughout the Key Stages and onto Post-16 teaching. You will also consider the role of inclusion and teaching within special education schools. You will be able to investigate the ways children develop and learn; appropriate and inclusive teaching methods; supporting learners with additional needs; social and emotional issues and contexts in learning; and relevant education and childhood policy and legislation. The course has a strong vocational and work based element, which means that you'll have the opportunity to build upon your own invaluable experience and relate your own understanding of theory directly to your practice. Designed to reflect and respect the diverse roles and responsibilities that teaching assistants and other support roles are able to bring to education, our teaching assistant degree offers you a specific route into Higher Education.

Level 4 modules: - The Curriculum, Foundation Stage to End of Secondary. - Inclusion. - Learning -Theory and Practice. - The Reflective Practitioner: the Inclusive Learning Environment. Level 5 modules: - Working in Partnership. - Supporting Children’s Behaviour for Learning. - Research in the Educational Workplace. The module content will help you develop as a reflective educational practitioner, someone who will make valuable contributions to the lives and learning of children and young people. You’ll explore the status of children in society and discuss how you can allow the voice of the young learner to be heard. Through the teaching and your study, you’ll gain a sound understanding of learning theory, of the curriculum and of the regulatory and legislative framework for education as they relate to children and young people and their learning. Crucially, in your second year of your degree, through work-based learning, you'll have the opportunity to carry out a research project connected to your professional interests and supported by a lecturer. The course offers you a progression route to an Honours Degree. From there you could look to gain Qualified Teacher Status via an appropriate Initial Teaching Training course such as a Primary Postgraduate Certificate in Education.

You will be assessed through: -Critical reading/literature reviews. - Reflective accounts. - Seminar presentations. - Collaborative investigations. - Seminar reports and journals. - Investigative reports. - Practice in the workplace. - Written essays.
