TEAN Workshop 4th March 2011 Andy Jones MMU, Pro-Vice-Chancellor and Dean of Institute of Education Vice Chair of UCET
Where are we post (and pre) White Paper ? • A state of limbo ? • Headlines but no clarity ? • Nervousness or enthusiasm ? • Realistic or deluded ? • Ideology on a crash course ?
Gove’s Key Myth • Need to, ‘..get trainee teachers out of colleges and into schools…’
Routes to QTS • PGCE (1 year, 2 year, flexible) • 3-4 year UG programmes – mainly primary • Employment Based Routes (much HEI input) • Teach First • Overseas Trained Teachers • I-Teach (Hibernia College) • Distinctions between QTS and HEI awards??
A Success Story • 77% of 30 000 ITE entrants are in mainstream ITT run jointly by HEIs and schools. • Most of the rest are in are in SCITTs and EBITTs managed, validated or supported by HEIs – also true for Teach First, I Teach • TDA NQT Survey 2008 – 85/86% rated training as ‘good’ or ‘very good’ • Ofsted – 97/94% of trainees are in HEIs rated in top two quality categories (47% ‘Outstanding’) • 59% of PGCE have 2:1, 95% have 2:2
Select Committee questions pre White Paper ? • 9 month PGCE inadequate ? • UG routes too unwieldy and costly ? • Should be master’s level profession ? • Consistency between school and post compulsory ITT ? • Regulatory framework too burdensome ? • Not enough commitment and involvement from schools ? • Increase entry qualifications esp. UG ?
White Paper Points • Direct funding for ITE in schools ? • Financial incentives for best graduates ? • Subject emphasis ? • NC to be reviewed • Military recruitment ? • Teach First to be doubled • Teaching Schools and University Training Schools
Unanswered ?’s • Future of UG routes ? • Demographics ? • Scale ? • Future funding/level – Browne Review ? • CPD and wider-workforce - numbers and funding ? • Teaching Schools ? • University Training schools ?
‘Take us forward’ • Remove UG altogether, maintain ‘supply rate’ via PGCE + school based ? • All ITT to be Master’s level ? • Teaching schools work with HEIs (as now) but what are the logisticaL challenges ? • English Bacc’ - ?
