Course summary
We offer our students an exceptional training experience 鈥� if youre looking for a lifelong, challenging and exciting career, teaching may be for you.
The Biology subject knowledge programme aims to support and develop you to become a confident and competent educator. As a part of our distinctive and ambitious curriculum you will understand and apply knowledge of:
- Science Capital
- Science in Society
- Science Outside the Classroom
- Health & Safety processes
Subject sessions will take part in a laboratory classroom, to encourage modelling of classroom teaching skills and active exploration and trialling of common Enquiry Types. You will explore how to teach key concepts of Biology through exploring ways in which the curriculum can be taught. You will explore strategies to decolonise the science curriculum and embed Sustainability issues, while appreciating how young people develop key concepts over time, identified within statutory guidance and GCSE specifications.
Sessions will be led by science specialist tutors, exploring current and contemporary debates about the nature of learning and teaching science. The taught programme will complement your development of core teaching skills on placement, and provide a theoretical model to help you evaluate the impact of innovative teaching strategies. You will develop a critical understanding of how to design sequences of learning to support and encourage pupil progress. You will also be introduced to essential aspects of Physics and Chemistry, so that you are prepared to teach Science across the curriculum.
