You will learn through learning, teaching and assessment strategies that have been carefully devised to take into account that you and your peers bring with you a wealth of practical experience and detailed knowledge of specific contexts to share with others. Formative assessment for learning will run throughout the module. Pair and small group work is an important aspect of the approach to learning on this course.


You will acquire knowledge and understanding through a variety of activities including, face to face delivery, presentations, individual and group tutorials, online synchronous and asynchronous sessions, discursive seminars, independent and directed learning and workshops in order to facilitate informed critical reflection. You will have opportunities to use teaching enhanced learning software and hardware. In addition to this, you will engage with your workplace mentor to support and broaden your learning experience and help you to make the connections between theory and practice.



You are expected to assume ownership of your learning in accordance with the principles of the course and the content of this module. Peer learning is promoted through presentations of work and subsequent discussion and evaluation. Through independent study and extension activities, you will be able to determine specific areas of own interest for a more in-depth exploration of your own subject specialism.


The combination of teaching and learning approaches will help you to develop a deeper understanding of the teacher role and responsibilities and the emphasis on reflecting and developing practice will enhance your professional development and provide progression opportunities. You will be introduced and become familiar with the ETF Standards (2014, updated in 2022)
