Overview
Module aims and purpose
This is the first of three school experience modules. It provides trainees with an introduction to and early experiences of teaching and learning in order to enable them to develop the knowledge, skills, attributes and understanding to become a qualified teacher.
The module aims to support trainees to:
- Receive an introduction and induction into the profession;
- Gain insight and understanding of the requirements for good teaching;
- Introduce, at an appropriate level, the professional attributes, professional knowledge and understanding, and professional skills required of teachers;
- Gain initial experience of working with individual, small groups and the whole class.
Module learning outcomes
By the end of the module, it is expected that students will be able to:
- Demonstrate through their teaching a systematic understanding of teaching and learning and deploy established approaches to teaching and learning;
- Understand the conceptual framework that both informs their own teaching (including planning and problem-solving) and informs their analysis and evaluation of classroom practice (theirs and that of other teachers);
- Appreciate the debates about a range of issues relating to teaching and the ability to engage with these debates professionally;
- Take responsibility for their own development as teachers through reflective practice;
- Build subject knowledge and subject content pedagogy;
- Work towards demonstrating proficiency in the fundamental skills in literacy and numeracy.
On successful completion trainees will be able to demonstrate and provide evidence of making appropriate progress towards expected outcomes against the programme ITE curriculum as illustrated by the ED3SIS assessment framework, and to be judged as not failing appropriate standards of professional and personal conduct.
Module content
The module will include the following topics:Â
Relationships with children and young people, statutory and non-statutory educational frameworks, support for personal professional development, evidence-informed teaching and learning approaches, approaches to planning, assessment and monitoring, giving feedback, reviewing teaching and learning, subjects and the curriculum, literacy numeracy and IT/digital literacy and citizenship, achievement and diversity, health and well-being, reflecting on inclusive learning environments, team working and collaboration.
Structure
Teaching and learning methods
This module will be spent mainly at the placement school under the supervision of a school-based mentor and supported by an ITTCo. Trainees will be supported by a university tutor.
During school placement trainees will undertake observations, teaching individuals, small groups and whole classes, participate in whole school life, undertake teachers’ pastoral responsibilities, have mentoring tutorials and school-based professional studies sessions, record weekly reflections of practice.
University teaching will include sessions on a range of educational issues that have been selected and sequenced by experienced experts in their relevant fields, and will cover the Department for Education’s Core Content Framework.
While the main mode of delivery is face-to-face, online opportunities will provide flexible teaching and learning input with a strong focus on social justice, sustainability, teacher workload.Â
Study hours
At least 80 hours of scheduled teaching and learning activities will be delivered in person, with the remaining hours for scheduled and self-scheduled teaching and learning activities delivered either in person or online. You will receive further details about how these hours will be delivered before the start of the module.

Assessment
Requirements for a pass
This module is marked on a pass/fail basis. Students must pass each item of assessment to pass the module.
Trainees are required to meet the assessable learning outcomes in order to pass the module and proceed to Module ED3GIS. The subject leader/tutor will make the final decision based on the evidence and recommendation of the mentor and ITTCo.
Summative assessment
Type of assessment | Detail of assessment | % contribution towards module mark | Size of assessment | Submission date | Additional information |
---|---|---|---|---|---|

Penalties for late submission of summative assessment
The Support Centres will apply the following penalties for work submitted late:
Assessments with numerical marks
- where the piece of work is submitted after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline): 10% of the total marks available for that piece of work will be deducted from the mark for each working day (or part thereof) following the deadline up to a total of three working days;
- the mark awarded due to the imposition of the penalty shall not fall below the threshold pass mark, namely 40% in the case of modules at Levels 4-6 (i.e. undergraduate modules for Parts 1-3) and 50% in the case of Level 7 modules offered as part of an Integrated Masters or taught postgraduate degree programme;
- where the piece of work is awarded a mark below the threshold pass mark prior to any penalty being imposed, and is submitted up to three working days after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline), no penalty shall be imposed;
- where the piece of work is submitted more than three working days after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline): a mark of zero will be recorded.
Assessments marked Pass/Fail
- where the piece of work is submitted within three working days of the deadline (or any formally agreed extension of the deadline): no penalty will be applied;
- where the piece of work is submitted more than three working days after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension of the deadline): a grade of Fail will be awarded.
The University policy statement on penalties for late submission can be found at: /cqsd/-/media/project/functions/cqsd/documents/qap/penaltiesforlatesubmission.pdf
You are strongly advised to ensure that coursework is submitted by the relevant deadline. You should note that it is advisable to submit work in an unfinished state rather than to fail to submit any work.
Formative assessment
Formative assessment is any task or activity which creates feedback (or feedforward) for you about your learning, but which does not contribute towards your overall module mark.
Trainees will keep an E-Portfolio of evidence to help them document their attainment against the curriculum expectations and with a view to progression towards achieving the Teachers’ Standards at the end of the programme.Â
Reassessment
Type of reassessment | Detail of reassessment | % contribution towards module mark | Size of reassessment | Submission date | Additional information |
