Education is an ever-changing environment and the desire for improvement is strong from all stakeholders. This module helps you to understand that engaging in professional development can positively impact the learning experience of your pupils. You will understand the holistic and positive role of a teacher and the practices and policies of the education framework in which you operate. Implicit in this will be the development of your understanding of your personal teacher identity and the impact on pupil outcomes. You will also have the opportunity to develop an understanding of how children learn and how this is organised, delivered and measured in primary schools. This module is informed by classroom-based evidence, research and theoretical and pedagogical underpinning and you will have the opportunity to establish a detailed understanding of a number of relevant issues directly affecting your teaching and your professional development.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/details><details name=\"module-year-1\" class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-block is-icon-arrow\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"has-white-background-color has-blue-color\">\n\t\t\t\t\tEnquiry Based Learning in the Early Years 3-7\n\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"icon icon-arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\"><path fill=\"inherit\" d=\"M432.6 209.3l-191.1 183.1C235.1 397.8 229.1 400 224 400s-11.97-2.219-16.59-6.688L15.41 209.3C5.814 200.2 5.502 184.1 14.69 175.4c9.125-9.625 24.38-9.938 33.91-.7187L224 342.8l175.4-168c9.5-9.219 24.78-8.906 33.91 .7187C442.5 184.1 442.2 200.2 432.6 209.3z\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-details__content has-stone-color has-white-background-color pl-4 pr-4 pb-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"is-block\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"credits\">30 Credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"compulsary\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>This module is designed to encourage you to engage individually with complex issues at the forefront of the discipline, both systematically and creatively, and make sound judgements based on research, theory and professional practice.

Consequently, the module will promote the qualities and transferable skills necessary for employment, the exercise of initiative and personal responsibility decision-making in complex and unpredictable situations and the independent learning ability required for continuing professional development.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/details><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"wp-block-newman-tab gap\" id=\"panel-year-3\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"tab-year-3\" data-tab-panel=\"true\" data-tab-id=\"year-3\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"tab-block-content content\"><details name=\"module-year-3\" class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-block is-icon-arrow\" open>\n\t\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"has-white-background-color has-blue-color\">\n\t\t\t\t\tAchieving QTS Through Professional Studies 7-11\n\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"icon icon-arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\"><path fill=\"inherit\" d=\"M432.6 209.3l-191.1 183.1C235.1 397.8 229.1 400 224 400s-11.97-2.219-16.59-6.688L15.41 209.3C5.814 200.2 5.502 184.1 14.69 175.4c9.125-9.625 24.38-9.938 33.91-.7187L224 342.8l175.4-168c9.5-9.219 24.78-8.906 33.91 .7187C442.5 184.1 442.2 200.2 432.6 209.3z\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-details__content has-stone-color has-white-background-color pl-4 pr-4 pb-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"is-block\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"credits\">1 Credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"compulsary\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The aims for this module are set in the context of the QAA Framework for Higher Education Qualifications and the ITT Core Content Framework (2019). University-based training sessions introduce the theoretical, subject and pedagogical knowledge needed to underpin effective classroom practice. School-based training, undertaken in a placement setting, provides the opportunity to apply these in practice. Successful completion of all elements of the module are required for recommendation for Qualified Teacher Status. In the first school term (semester 1), the focus is on Understanding Professional Practice. A range of professional studies, core and foundation subject curriculum topics are covered, including aspects of pastoral care, safeguarding and behaviour management. Where appropriate students are placed in pairs in a school setting to experience the wider life of the school and undertake professional tasks and activities that contribute to children\u00cas learning in different key stages, supported by a School Based Tutor from the setting and Partnership Tutor from the university. This may be undertaken in a preferred age phase. 10 days of Intensive training and practice (ITAP) on a specific and focused element of the teacher training curriculum will take place during the stage 1 placement. It is designed to give trainees appropriate input, scaffolded practice and feedback in relation to selected foundational and specific aspects of the training curriculum where close attention to and control of content, critical analysis, application and feedback are required. In the second school term (semester 1 and 2), the focus is on Managing the Classroom. A range of professional studies, core and foundation subject curriculum topics are covered, including aspects of assessment and curriculum design. School experience may be undertaken in a preferred key stage. Students will be expected to reflect upon and critically evaluate their developing knowledge, understanding and skills as they begin to take increasing responsibility for teaching pupils and fulfilling the duties expected of a teacher. They will be required to set targets for continued development and reflect on their own professional development in collaboration with a School Based Tutor from the setting, supported by a Partnership Tutor from the university. This placement may take place in a SEND or alternative setting if the trainee meets the skill requirement and showcases a passion for a career in SEND. 5 days of Intensive training and practice (ITAP) on a specific and focused element of the teacher training curriculum will take place during the stage 2 placement. It is designed to give trainees appropriate input, scaffolded practice and feedback in relation to selected foundational and specific aspects of the training curriculum where close attention to and control of content, critical analysis, application and feedback are required. In the final school term (semester 2), the focus is on Meeting the Teachers&#8217; Standards. University-based training sessions reflect aspects of professional studies arising as national, local and individual priorities. Continuing in their preferred age phase, students complete a block placement, assessed against the Teachers&#8217; Standards in which they take increasing responsibility for teaching pupils, and fulfil the duties expected of a teacher, including taking over accountability for pupils&#8217; learning and progress. Students will extend their knowledge and understanding of issues related to professional development and experience. Evidence of an appropriate professional standard is necessary for recommendation for Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). 5 days of Intensive training and practice (ITAP) on a specific and focused element of the teacher training curriculum will take place during the stage 3 placement. It is designed to give trainees appropriate input, scaffolded practice and feedback in relation to selected foundational and specific aspects of the training curriculum where close attention to and control of content, critical analysis, application and feedback are required.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/details><details name=\"module-year-3\" class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-block is-icon-arrow\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"has-white-background-color has-blue-color\">\n\t\t\t\t\tAchieving QTS Through Professional Studies\n\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"icon icon-arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\"><path fill=\"inherit\" d=\"M432.6 209.3l-191.1 183.1C235.1 397.8 229.1 400 224 400s-11.97-2.219-16.59-6.688L15.41 209.3C5.814 200.2 5.502 184.1 14.69 175.4c9.125-9.625 24.38-9.938 33.91-.7187L224 342.8l175.4-168c9.5-9.219 24.78-8.906 33.91 .7187C442.5 184.1 442.2 200.2 432.6 209.3z\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-details__content has-stone-color has-white-background-color pl-4 pr-4 pb-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"is-block\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"credits\">1 Credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"compulsary\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The aims for this module are set in the context of the QAA Framework for Higher Education Qualifications and the ITT Core Content Framework (2019).

Each year, you will undertake school placements that are carefully structured to build your confidence and competence over time. You will be supported throughout by experienced school-based mentors and university tutors who offer personalised feedback and guidance. In addition to placements, undergraduate trainees take part in six Intensive Training and Practice (ITAP) weeks across the three years of study, with two ITAPs per year. These focus on key areas such as behaviour management, assessment for learning, SEND inclusion and phonics and early reading. These experiences are designed to deepen your understanding of effective teaching and prepare you for the realities of the profession. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-newman-course-section alignfull course-section\" id=\"course-section-f93d254b-00ac-4d41-a2c7-fa74e3274e79\" data-name=\"Studying in Birmingham\" data-count=\"7\" data-conditional-meta=\"{&quot;conditions&quot;:[{&quot;field&quot;:&quot;studyingAndLivingInBirmingham&quot;,&quot;operator&quot;:&quot;isset&quot;,&quot;valueType&quot;:&quot;static&quot;,&quot;value&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;compareField&quot;:&quot;&quot;}],&quot;relationship&quot;:&quot;AND&quot;}\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover alignfull\" style=\"padding-top:80px;padding-bottom:80px;min-height:354px;aspect-ratio:unset;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-896 size-large\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/newman.ac.uk\/courses\/wp-content\/themes\/birmingham-newman-parent\/assets\/dist\/img\/birmingham-brindley-place.webp\" data-object-fit=\"cover\" \/><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-blue-background-color has-background-dim-80 has-background-dim\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-cover-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"happypress-custom-fields happypress-custom-fields-studyingAndLivingInBirmingham\"><p>Live, Learn &amp; Belong at Birmingham Newman?? <\/p>\n<p>At Birmingham Newman University, you\u2019ll enjoy the best of both worlds: a peaceful, green campus that creates the ideal setting for focused study and personal reflection, yet remains just eight miles from the vibrant city centre.
