  1. CONGRATULATIONSon achieving a place onBA [Hons] in Primary Education … the real work starts here!!!!!

  2. Subject Knowledge Support Site

  3. Commendations • As an NQT I am grateful for the wide range of teaching experience I was able to gain at YSJ. Whereas some of my other NQT colleagues in Luton have had the experience of 1 or 2 schools, I have been into 5 different classes in 4 different schools in my training alone. To add to this I also had the opportunity to study in the USA, allowing me the opportunity to visit schools and teach some lessons out there as well. • The lecturers are all friendly and experienced in the teaching world, drawing on their experiences to help you through the course and to prepare you for what to expect. This includes strategies for teaching EAL children, how to be a subject coordinator and generally what to expect in the classroom. • Many of the lectures incorporate up to date training of current legislations and frameworks, allowing you to go into your first job with as good as, if not better knowledge of the current strategies, (especially ICT) than many experienced teachers have.

  4. A Headteacher’s perspective • June 2010 • Rebecca has made an outstanding impact on our school; she is extremely hard-working, has an up-to-date knowledge of the curriculum and takes part in school life as if she has never been anywhere else- a wonderful appointment!

  5. Contents of the Course All details (including Health and Safety information) are contained in the Programme Handbook 120 credits in each year comprising 10 and 20 credit modules You will register for the equivalent of 6 X 20 credit modules each year

  18. The Role of the Academic Tutor[University guidance] • To reflect regularly on your aspirations, achievements and development needs. • To help you to take responsibility for your own learning and development. • To give you a source or personal support and advice, including referral to specialist university services for expert guidance on learning, careers and personal issues. • To ensure that an accurate record of your undergraduate career is maintained and summarised for the university record. • To ensure that accurate and relevant references are produced for you.

  19. The Role of the Academic Tutor[for trainee teachers] • Monitor progress towards the achievement of the Professional Standards for Qualified Teacher Status as stated in “Professional Standards for Teachers” • Monitor academic progress in all modules through assignment feedback sheets and trainee reflective overview • Monitor the development of supporting portfolios • Write a reference that reflects your specialist subject and teaching abilities • Support you in compiling a Career Entry Development Profile [CEDP] during the final term • Meet with you at other times if you are experiencing particular difficulties or he or she becomes aware of an urgent matter concerning you and your progress.

  20. Satisfactory participation in the Academic Tutor process is not optional! • You are required to respond to invitations to meet with your AT. If you fail to respond you will not be meeting one of the course requirements of the programme and therefore the Head of Programme will become involved. • Trainees should understand that, if they do not attend meetings and if the Academic Tutor File is not maintained satisfactorily, the AT will not be able to: • offer appropriate advice to support trainees’ developmental needs • write a supportive reference • offer appropriate support in compiling the CEDP
