Course summary
COURSE OVERVIEW
Welcome to the Swansea University Schools’ Partnership (SUSP/PYPA), an innovative collaboration of school and university-based staff working together to ensure that ‘Tomorrow’s Teachers’ have the skills and experience to make a difference to pupils in Wales.
Well-qualified Chemistry teachers are in high demand across the UK. SUSP has developed an innovative Secondary Chemistry PGCE programme that is designed to provide new entrants to the teaching profession with confidence in their subject knowledge and in their understanding of how to teach it. This programme will prepare you to make a positive contribution to the learning communities you will be joining. SUSP’s Secondary Chemistry PGCE programme is underpinned by regional, national and international research. You will learn how to make Chemistry meaningful, interesting and fun and also how to analyse your own and your pupils’ development.
SUSP’s integrated and rigorous PGCE programme will challenge you academically and professionally. The PGCE Chemistry programme aims to develop critical understanding of the nature of Chemistry and its position in the school curriculum. You will be encouraged to research and test your own approaches to Chemistry pedagogy to find those techniques that work best for you and for the pupils you teach. SUSP is committed to developing research-informed reflective practitioners who can demonstrate creativity and flexibility in their teaching so that learners develop their subject competence in an environment that cultivates enjoyment.
YOUR PGCE EXPERIENCE
The SUSP ITE programme is structured to allow multiple opportunities to address all the Professional Standards for Teaching and Leadership through rich learning experiences that reinforce, evaluate and support professional proficiency.
PGCE EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES
Successful completion of the SUSP PGCE will lead to recommendation to the Education Workforce Council for Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and provides opportunities for employment as a Newly Qualified Teacher (NQT) in schools.
