They will explore the history and development of additional provision within the UK, gaining an appreciation of the diversity of presenting problems and an understanding of what categories of need are viewed as requiring additional provision. This module provides an introduction to the informing principles of pupil learning, teaching strategies, pupil behaviour and classroom management and organisation. Students will develop their understanding of the expectations, values and attitudes that promote effective communication and relationships with children and adults providing inclusion for all. The intention of the module is for students to have not only a working insight into statutory requirements and practice in planning for, implementing and managing inclusive practice, but to understand and evaluate the implications of these for learners and teachers. Within this module, students will develop their own knowledge and understanding of multilingualism.<\/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\tUnderstanding Profesional Practice\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\">20 Credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"compulsary\">(Compulsory)<\/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 is provided through the full range of modules undertaken at level 4: these introduce the theoretical, subject and pedagogical knowledge needed to underpin effective classroom practice. This module provides the opportunity to identify and apply these in practice during school-based training in a placement setting, as well as learn about professional duties and requirements. Successful completion of all elements of the module are required to progress on to the level 5 professional practice module, Managing the Classroom. The module includes two placement blocks to enable students to undertake work-related learning. 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&#8217;s learning in different key stages, supported by a School Based Tutor from the setting and an Academic Professional Tutor (acting as Partnership Tutor) from the university. In the first school term (semester 1), the focus is on observing professional behaviours and assisting with teaching core and foundation subjects across curriculum. In the summer term, students return to the same setting (where possible) in order to begin applying some of the pedagogies studied in other modules. During taught sessions, students will also be expected to reflect on aspects of pastoral care, safeguarding, behaviour management and the statutory requirement of Religious Education. Evidence of an appropriate professional standard is necessary for recommendation for Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).

This will include an in-depth consideration of the issue of pupil disaffection using current research and relevant literature. There will be an informed perspective on current debates in the field of Special Educational Needs and this will provide opportunities for students to engage with their own interests in this area. Additionally, students will consider the range of provision for all children including those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities and will understand the processes for the diagnosis of, assessment for, and provision provided by multi agencies for pupils with a range of Special Educational Needs. This module aims to develop students\u00ca awareness and understanding of how to develop opportunities for learning and teaching in the classroom where language, particularly multilingualism, could be seen as a barrier but in actual fact can enrich classroom culture. There will be a continued focus on students&#8217; personal development as readers, writers and speakers of languages within different contexts.

Successful completion of all elements of the module are required to progress on to the level 6 professional practice module, Meeting the Professional Standards. In this work-related module, the focus for school-based training is on Managing the Classroom. During an 8-week placement block, students undertake work-related learning in a school setting to experience the wider life of the school and undertake professional tasks and activities that contribute to children&#8217;s learning. 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 devise action plans and 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. Evidence of an appropriate professional standard is necessary for recommendation for Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/details><details name=\"module-year-2\" 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\tCreative Practice Across the Curriculum\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\">20 Credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"compulsary\">(Compulsory)<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>This module will build upon previous knowledge of the foundation subjects as part of the primary National Curriculum.

Through the lens of SMSC (Spiritual, Moral, Social, Cultural) students will be prepared for a better understanding of the expectations from Ofsted to this overarching theme for all curriculum subjects. RE will provide an opportunity to examine world views alongside religious and non-religious perspectives on the nature of spirituality. This will be extended to demonstrate how different subjects within the curriculum make a significant contribution to the development of the whole child through SMSC. Students will examine theoretical frameworks for spiritual, moral, social, and cultural development. The course will also address wider issues including teacher confidence, assessment, and implementation of SMSC across the curriculum. By the end of the module students will have improved their understanding of the holistic development of children, both through and beyond the curriculum. The students will know and understand the significance that Ofsted has placed upon SMSC in deciding the overall effectiveness of a school in the delivery of education.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/details><details name=\"module-year-2\" 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\tManaging the Classroom 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\">20 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).
