If you’re already in a learning support role within a school, college or other educational setting and aspiring to enhance your knowledge and skills in this specialist area, this course could be for you. We’ll support you to develop the skills, knowledge and understanding necessary to effectively support the process of teaching and learning in a variety of contexts.
To undertake this course you’ll need to be already working in a learning support role – this could be in a voluntary capacity. To ensure flexibility and access for those working within schools, colleges and childcare settings during the week, teaching on this course typically takes place on Saturdays – approximately 8 days per academic year. Your work will help you to contextualise the academic content of the course, including your major study, and therefore provides an important aspect of the programme.
Example modules
• Theories and Strategies for Learning • Assessing Learning • Safeguarding Children and Young People • Supporting Individual Learning Needs
Your future
Successful completion of the course allows you to consider more senior roles in supporting teaching and learning. Graduates may consider progressing on to teacher training through a PGCE course. We also have a suite of postgraduate Education Master’s courses, including Education (Teaching and Learning) MA.
This course is a recognised progression route on to primary teacher training courses.
