This primary teacher education course is designed for graduates who are committed to becoming primary school teachers. It trains you to teach the three to seven age range. As a trainee, you will learn how to teach the entire primary curriculum as well as choosing a particular route. The Early Years route is designed for graduates who are interested in teaching children aged three to seven, but this will not restrict you to working with this age group. You will learn how to be a nursery or primary class teacher. By the end of the year, you will understand how to teach the entire primary curriculum to a class of 30 pupils, and be confident and competent in doing so. You will leave the course with outstanding subject knowledge across the curriculum. You will have an understanding of how to plan and deliver engaging and motivating lessons and how to support your pupils’ progress. You will learn how to identify the strength and needs of your pupils and make sure that everyone in your class is included and challenged. Everyone on the Primary PGCE learns how to teach the whole curriculum. You will also have extra sessions that improve your practice and understanding of teaching in nursery, reception and Key Stage 1 classes. Early Years sessions will focus on the learning environment, observation, assessment and planning, characteristics of effective learning and working with families and carers. Through this course, you will have a head start when it comes to securing a teaching post. And when you are in a post and decide that you wish to take your academic qualifications further, we can help you to continue your academic and professional development. Your PGCE will earn you 60 master’s level credits, which can count towards further qualifications on master’s courses at UEL.
