  1. The future of HEIs under an expanding School Direct system Judith Hillier PGCE tutor at University of Oxford

  2. Changes in recent years • Diversification of routes has introduced complexity in market • Changes to allocations have introduced instability in system and institutions • Changes to application procedure have greatly increased workload with no noticeable benefits

  3. Consequences of changes • ‘Good’ and ‘Outstanding’ courses have been withdrawn by some HEIs • Other HEIs are considering their positions • Shortage of physics teachers is being exacerbated, not solved

  4. Contribution made by HEIs to ITE • Specific expertise in ITE, distinct from CPD • Sophisticated understanding of what “learning to teach” means • Inculcate professionalism • Educate for career, not train for survival • Need for situated and decontextualised learning

  5. Advantages of HEIs maintaining key role in ITE • Focused core purpose – core function of school is to educate pupils • Wider support of tutors and peers vital • Provides wider range of placement options • Has well established procedures and experience • Economies of scale enable better provision instead of overstretched capacity

  6. Collaborative partnerships • Teaching in schools is fundamental to ITE • But learning in HEIs is also fundamental • International recognition of the strengths of our collaborative partnerships in ITE between HEIs and schools

  7. Questions for discussion • How are our HEIs adapting to new systems? • What will national picture of ITE look like in 1 year? 2 years? 3 years? • What would we like to see happening in ITE and what role could the IoP play in that? • How can we work together to relieve shortage of physics teachers?
