Why choose the School of Education


A practice-led approach to gaining Qualified Teacher Status, with 80% of your time spent on placement.

Our teacher training courses rank in the UK top 20 in their subject field for academic support (NSS, 2024).

We are consistently sector leaders for employability and our courses have excellent retention (University of Bedfordshire student data, 2023).

About the course

This largely placement-based course focuses on building your practical teaching skills, understanding of educational theory and subject knowledge. You explore professional issues; curriculum content; creative teaching methods; and the role of technology in English teaching. To deliver the secondary curriculum, you should be familiar with classic works of pre-20th century prose and a wide range of modern fiction, non-fiction and poetry. You are expected to stay on top of new and emerging genres while demonstrating a willingness to critique ‘received wisdom’ and outdated pedagogies.

There is the option to take this course part time over two years, making it easier to balance study with your other commitments.

What will you study?


The Curriculum Specialist (Secondary English) unit is a starting point in the National Curriculum for English and explores what it means to be a teacher of secondary English. You will consider your teaching philosophy and be encouraged to think about what really matters in English education – is its purpose to empower pupils by teaching them how to critique policies and political rhetoric and prepare them to become agents for change; or is it to nurture the creative act of writing and self-expression, building confidence that each child has something to say? In this unit you will explore seminal and contemporary theories and research in English education and will be helped to translate theory into practice by integrating these insights into your teaching methods. Through engaging workshops, you will delve into various pedagogical approaches and best practices for teaching English.

Working with peers and mentors, you will participate in collaborative planning sessions to develop innovative lesson plans designed to engage and enthuse your pupils with the love of subject English. This unit aims to enhance your ability to deliver an engaging and effective English curriculum, fostering creativity and critical thinking in your students. The university collaborates closely with local lead partnership schools to enhance your learning experience, ensuring you receive comprehensive support as you develop your teaching skills. You will work closely with subject specialists and a lead subject specialist mentor to deepen your specific subject knowledge in secondary English, enhanced by guest lectures from subject specialists in the School of English.

This unit closely integrates with our Evidence Informed Curriculum Specialist unit, allowing you to deepen your understanding of current contexts in English education and effectively apply that knowledge through a variety of methods of delivery including keynote lectures, conference days, and cross subject discussions. In addition, there will be enrichment activities throughout the year to explore beyond the curriculum and promote positive physical and mental wellbeing. Throughout the Evidence Informed Curriculum Specialist unit, you will undertake school placements where you will build your experience to independently plan and deliver lessons based on your observations and learning. You will explore new pedagogical ideas whilst also learning to align your practice with behaviour management policy in schools.

In the second school placement, you will continue to develop and apply your experience from the first placement. As your practice improves you will learn how to adapt your teaching to suit the needs of your individual pupils to promote good progress. By tying together theoretical knowledge and practical application, the course ensures you are well-prepared to inspire and educate the pupils in your classes. This course is available as either a one-year full-time or a two-year part-time course.

How will you be assessed?


The assessment strategy is based upon the premise that critical evaluation of theoretical perspectives as they apply to your own teaching is an intrinsic element of best teaching practice. Throughout the course, therefore, you will continually be encouraged to explore what is known about teaching and learning, and to demonstrate independence and creativity in evaluating the relevance of that knowledge in your own context. Sound subject knowledge is a fundamental quality of an effective teacher and you will be expected to demonstrate a commitment to ongoing development of that knowledge throughout the course in preparation for the final assessment. Also key to the course is a focus on the development of evidence informed teaching, culminating in an extended systematic study of your own practice.

By embracing the professional requirements for Qualified Teacher Status within the course it supports you in developing the qualities which define the University of Bedfordshire graduate teacher: an independent, reflective, creative, innovative, collaborative and resilient professional who is committed to ongoing personal and professional development.

The assessment for this course seeks to support you in developing your understanding of the interplay between theoretical perspectives and practice-based experience. You will be developing your skills of reviewing and evaluation of evidence, critical thinking, creativity and independence. The themes for your evidence informed writing are developed from local and national subject priorities and, therefore, allow you to develop the evidence of your understanding of values and principles found in the cumulative evidence record which enable you to meet the Teachers’ Standards as they apply to your working context at the end of the course. By building your work around these themes, you will generate rich evidence which can contribute to the assessment of your professional performance: the Profile Review Points. Hence, the assessment items are intrinsically connected and, in combination, allow you to demonstrate your achievement of all learning outcomes.

The Profile Review Point is the process by which the mentor reviews your progress in your teaching practice and offers this evidence to your university tutor to review against all the other evidence that they see of you on the course. The Cumulative Evidence Record provides the framework by which this progress is judged and are supplemented with descriptors which support you in understanding how to show you have learned the curriculum of the course. The Teachers Standards are used at the end of the course as per the statutory PSRB guidance.

Formative use of assessment is embedded throughout the course and is a principle which we would expect you to adopt in your own teaching. You will be supported to become familiar with self- and peer-assessment approaches and to make effective use of feedback on both academic and practice-based aspects of the course, to identify targets for your ongoing development and plan actions to address them.

The passing of all four units will mean the course will recommend you to the TRA for QTS. In exceptional circumstances, approved by the head of school, it may be possible for recommendation for QTS to be made without completion of all four units. This option is not an automatic entitlement.

Engagement with published research is a fundamental aspect of the course and you will be supported in developing skills of critical analysis of the literature. Rigorous attention to referencing conventions is, therefore, essential and you will be required to adopt the Harvard system. You will be supported in developing your understanding of plagiarism and in the use of Turnitin as a means of ensuring that referencing requirements are satisfied.

Careers


On graduating you can apply for Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) enabling you to work as an English teacher in a secondary education setting. Many of our graduates go on to rewarding employment in local schools.

As well as Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) completing the course also offers you up to 60 Master's-level credits with opportunities for further study at MA/MSc MPhil PhD and EdD levels.
