Program Overview
Program Outline
Collaboration
We’ve partnered with over 60 schools across the South West of England. They range in size, nature and context, with pupil numbers ranging from 180 to 1,800.
Working within a partner school, you’ll gain the skills you need to meet the challenges of everyday classrooms. You’ll learn to reach pupils who are disadvantaged, those with Special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND), and pupils who speak English as an Additional Language (EAL).
Creativity
The Bath Spa ITE (Initial Teacher Education) Partnership believes that all children deserve the very best teachers.
We teach you to adapt and respond to the changing needs of all pupils. As a Bath Spa Teacher (BST) you’ll develop innovative and creative teaching methods so that you can thrive in the ever-changing educational environment.
Critical thinking
You’ll explore diverse perspectives on education, reflect on your own progress, and integrate theory into the practice of teaching.
You’ll draw on the latest research to inform your work and contribute to an educational community that is active, inclusive and research-informed. Through this, you’ll develop your own unique identity and confidence as a teacher.
Care
Teaching is a caring profession and caring is at the heart of all that we do – whether it’s caring for you as our student, caring for your pupils or caring for each other as colleagues.
We understand that every pupil is an individual and we equip you to support yours as an empathetic and emotionally resilient teacher. Wellbeing, and how to create a work-life balance, is central to all our PGCE with QTS programmes; our curriculum embraces equality and inclusion and challenges discrimination.
