Course details
The course maintains there is no one way to teach and encourages you to engage with a variety of teaching methods to develop your own best practice. It promotes the principle that continued professional development is fundamental to outstanding teaching and aims for its graduates to carry forward this belief throughout their careers.
There are four modules of study comprising Behaviour and Classroom Management, Curriculum Delivery and Assessment, Development of Teaching, and Practical Teaching Practice.
You will also undertake a second school placement2 to gain experience of teaching in more than one school, which will be organised by you with the support of the NITE Placement Team.
The Practical Teaching Practice module runs throughout the course, and formative assessment informs your progress and helps you to develop your teaching. At the end of the course, a summative assessment of your competency against the Teachers’ Standards is made.
For part-time trainees, these modules are spread across Year 1 and Year 2.
Modules
Behavior and Classroom Management – 15 credits
This module develops your understanding of educational psychology, neuroscience and contemporary educational theory on behaviour. You will explore how children learn, what influences behaviour and what strategies and interventions are effective for promoting good teaching and learning.
Curriculum Delivery and Assessment – 15 credits
This module aims to develop your knowledge of subject pedagogy, effective lesson planning and application of statutory codes for Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), as well as principles of assessment and feedback practices.
Development of Teaching – 15 credits
This module aims to develop a reflective and self-critical approach to teaching. You will be required to demonstrate effective practice via critical evaluation and systematic analysis of your own teaching practice in line with The National Teachers’ Standards in England (Department for Education 2012).
Practical Teaching Practice – 15 credits
The Practical Teaching Practice module is practice-based and runs throughout the course. You will be encouraged to set, review and show you can meet targets related to your professional practice and demonstrate your teaching competency.
About us
Welcome from Professor Geraint Jones, NITE’s Executive Director
Teaching is a noble profession. Its status and importance are fundamental within societies, which place education at the heart of peace, prosperity and equity of opportunity.
Thriving countries have flourishing education systems, in which the profile of teaching is high, as is the expected rigour within their teacher education programmes.
As such, NITE has a moral purpose to contribute to a global education mission, and we see our role within it as setting the standard in teacher training and educational leadership development across the world.
Our programmes:
have practical intentions to improve the quality of teaching and leadership in schools and colleges globally;
are underpinned by the best available evidence of ‘what works’;
are designed and delivered by experienced, specialist educators, who also know what it takes to successfully teach and lead in schools today;
are competitively priced and in many cases designed to access tuition-fee funding schemes.
The distinct features, which thread through all of our courses, promote accessibility and personalised programmes of study. These include:
Online delivery models, which blend with school-based practice;
Tutorial and mentoring programmes to support learning, deepen students’ understanding and prompt independent study and research;
The flexibility of multiple in-year start dates and part-time routes.
Our website contains lots of information, especially about our courses and about how schools, colleges and educational organisations worldwide can partner with us. Also, as a growing institute, we are keen to hear from educators who may wish to work with us. Whether you are a potential student, colleague or partner organisation,
