How this course is organised
- A typical week would involve: general professional studies sessions provided by staff from The University of Leicester and further sessions of an even more practical nature provided by teachers in the partnership schools; a regular meeting with your mentor and a subject-specific training session provided by one of the team of subject mentors; and regular time spent in the classroom observing colleagues or being observed yourself at work in the classroom.
- There are two block teaching practices during the course. The shorter one in the second half term which takes place in your host school and a 10 week practice which begins in February and which takes place in one of the other partnership schools. During these teaching practices the pattern of training sessions is suspended but you do continue the pattern of weekly sessions with a mentor throughout the course.
