Course Summary

**This course is primarily designed for face to face learning with you attending your lessons for the specified hours within the validation document. However, there may be periods of study where the government advises TEC Partnership that it is not safe to open campuses or there is limited access due to social distancing measures. If the Campus is closed TEC Partnership will continue to deliver your sessions online and offer you the necessary support and resources remotely. If there is limited access due to social distancing measures a blended model will be adopted with some lessons happening in small groups and others happening using online sessions and support.** This course is ideal if you are wishing to teach in the post-compulsory sector (age 14+). This includes sixth form, further, higher and adult education such as hospitals and the prison service. It also includes community and youth services, uniformed services, private training providers and large organisations with in-house training departments.

Course Details - Modules

All four modules must be completed successfully. • Principles and Practice in Post Compulsory Education – the programme offers all trainees the opportunity to gain both breadth and depth in their understanding of professional practice. The defining feature of post-compulsory pedagogic practice is its diversity and understanding the implications of this for practice is a core component of the programme. • Practical Teaching and Learning – as well as an overview of post-compulsory education, the different spaces and places within which it is located, trainees are required to connect theory to practice and develop their practical teaching – emphasis is placed on developing a pedagogy that is sensitive to context. A student may complete the course while working in FE but will gain a good knowledge and through networking experience of other relevant context within which they may practice as a teacher, thereby enhancing their employability. • Advanced Professional Practice in Context – while there is a strong academic core to the programme which enables students to become confident in the concepts, theories, research and empiricism that defines their practice – equal value is placed in developing context based professionalism. Trainees will work closely with practicing post-compulsory teachers and network with trainees across the region to develop knowledge based on practice. • Exploring Specialist Teaching – while the programme allows trainees to work alongside subject specialists from the many disciplines found in FE, close attention is paid to developing and maintaining their own subject or industrial expertise. The programme is committed to developing dual professionalism: trainees are able to develop pedagogic expertise whilst ensuring they maintain expertise in their original industry or subject discipline. Trainees will develop the critical understanding they need to teach in the Education and Training Sector, enabling them to devise and plan creative learning opportunities. A research-informed appreciation of different learning theories and principles underpins their professionalism.
