If you are working and supporting children in primary, secondary and special schools, or with learners in further education colleges, the Education pathway of our Professional Studies Foundation Degree is designed for you. Many of our students on the education pathway are employed as Teaching Assistants in schools, working alongside a qualified teacher. They support formal learning opportunities for children and young people, and may often take whole classes for sessions or work with children who have a particular need. How will you Learn? This work-focused Foundation Degree is a combination of practice-based learning and campus-based sessions, which run once a week so that you are able to continue in employment throughout the duration of the course. It is designed to improve your personal and professional communication skills, and will increase your knowledge and understanding of how children and young people learn and mature, by developing new ways of working and challenging existing assumptions. You will learn though lectures, seminars and workshops, alongside visiting speakers from the sector which will provide opportunities for you to discuss, question and challenge. Methods of Assessment: A variety of assessment methods are used including presentations, written assignments such as essays and reports, and portfolios of work-focussed learning. All assessments enable you to relate theory to practice. Progression Routes: This Foundation Degree qualification is often seen as a step towards becoming a teacher, progressing in your role as a Teaching Assistant and extending your opportunities to become more senior within this sector. Successful completion of this course will provide you with the qualifications required to ‘top-up’ to a full Bachelor’s Degree at university in just one year. Tailored progression routes, which allow you to continue to work and study, are available at Bishop Grosseteste University. Acceptance on to these courses is at the discretion of the institution offering the top-up. Work-based Learning and Employability Development: Our Professional Studies Foundation Degree courses are designed to be studied without you having to leave work – in fact, they work alongside your career. Facilities and Support: You will have access to various study facilities including a recently refurbished Library where you’ll have access to books, journals and computers. You will also have access to an Academic Support Tutor to assist you with your studies and careers advisors to help you with your future employment.
