This degree prepares trainee teachers to teach within the Primary age range (3 -11) on your chosen route: 3-7, 5-11 or 7-11. It progressively leads you to the standards required of a newly qualified teacher, set in new facilities at one of the country's foremost centres of teacher education, in a stimulating multi-cultural environment. The degree fulfils the latest National College of Teaching and Leadership (NCTL) criteria for teacher training and has strong partnership links with local schools throughout West Yorkshire and beyond. At the heart of the degree is school experience, and we provide an extensive programme of school placements throughout every year of the course, giving you the opportunity to practise your teaching skills while being supported by school staff and College tutors. In the first year, you will have a general introduction to all curriculum areas. During the second year, you will have the chance to undertake more specialist study in a specific subject such as: Language, Humanities, Mathematics, Science or Creative Arts. If you select a subject specialism in English, Mathematics or Science, this will be named in your degree award at the end of the course. You also have the opportunity for additional study in an area of special interest linked with a placement. Possible choices include: special educational needs, drama in education, international dimensions to education and other studies associated with primary education, allowing you to experience education in a variety of settings. Our teacher educators are an exceptionally strong team and we have an enviable tradition of producing effective practitioners positively equipped to meet local, regional and national needs, and grounded in educating children in a multi-ethnic world. In our last Ofsted inspection for Primary and Secondary ITE we were judged to be at least Good with some Outstanding features. We anticipate a continuing need for teachers of primary children in the foreseeable future, particularly in meeting the needs of different communities. This course will give you the training you require to fulfil these needs.
