Course summary
Do you want to play a part in the personal, spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of young people? If so, how about becoming an RE teacher?
We’ve designed our highly-rated PGCE Secondary Education in RE, so that you explore a variety of approaches to delivering quality RE and learn how to confidently devise and deliver interesting and inspiring lessons to pupils of all secondary ages and abilities.
The course has QTS (Qualified Teacher Status) built in and students will apply for a position as a secondary school teacher during the course of their studies and teaching practice.
Course summary
You will begin the course by understanding the needs of individual learners, learning to notice, understand and implement key teaching strategies.
Working with individual groups of pupils in school, you'll gradually building up to the teaching of whole classes in the second phase.
This will involve fostering the appropriate levels of learning in pupils, corresponding to the requirements of the Teachers' Standard.
We draw on a broad range of teaching and learning strategies, including ICT workshops, videos, visits and hands-on practical work with artefacts and resources, as well as more traditional teaching methods.
You will look at the role of a religious education teacher, working with faith communities to look at the aims of RE in spiritual and moral development and you will use a variety of approaches towards teaching, including relationships with ICT and citizenship, to create a better learning experience for students.
We believe that experience is not enough - what is vital is to be able to unpick and reflect on experiences.
You will deconstruct classroom learning activities into their constituent parts, and then build them up again and implement them in the classroom. Your personal tutor will meet with you throughout the year to discuss your progress, and your subject mentor will support your development towards QTS at your placement.
