As well as learning about the National Curriculum and National Strategies, student teachers will gain insight into the different approaches that can be used to develop mathematical topics, the advantages and disadvantages of these methods, and the lessons for teachers that can be drawn from an increasing body of research into the mathematical development of pupils. Student teachers will address the teaching methods that cater for the range of ability that exists in any class and also the nature and forms of assessment that are used in schools today. There will be an emphasis on recent developments in mathematics education, including the use of new technology.
There is scope within the course for student teachers to identify aspects of mathematics in which they lack confidence, or perhaps have a particular interest. For this part of the time, student teachers negotiate individual programmes with their course tutor in order to further and enhance their professional development. For example, it is not uncommon for student teachers to lack confidence in sixth form mechanics or statistics, or to wish to look in greater depth at the use of information technology in the teaching of mathematics. Mature students may wish to focus on recent changes of subject content or approach.
The course attracts and recruits mathematics graduates with a range of ages and experience, and it has a very high success rate in terms of subsequent employment.
How to Apply
Applications for the full-time PGCE 7-14 and 11-18 are made electronically via the Graduate Teacher Training Registry (GTTR) www.gttr.ac.uk
There is no general closing date, but each programme or subject pathway is closed when it becomes fully subscribed. Early application is strongly advised, both because some subject programmes fill quickly, and because it will help you to plan for your PGCE course if you can get early confirmation of a place.
