Secondary Mathematics with QTS - PGCE

Birmingham City University

You’ll learn techniques to inspire students around maths, making it enjoyable and ensuring they’re equipped with skills they’ll need for in the future. On a daily basis you’ll teach across a range of ages – from 11-16 in secondary age phase, with post-16 enhancement – and abilities so we’ll train you to be handle changing effortlessly between number patterns and sequences to calculus depending on who you’re teaching. Our aim is to help you become a committed, confident and creative teacher so we’ll train you in the essential tools you need to kick-start your career in education. As you progress, you’ll increase your ability to handle the ever-evolving teaching environment, and by the time your course is complete, you’ll be in a position to continue developing your understanding, knowledge and skills throughout your professional life. In line with DfE requirements, we have designed Intensive Training and Practice (ITaP) sessions for this course. ITaP elements enable you to focus on specific and pivotal areas of the ITE curriculum – such as assessment, transitions and adaptive teaching – in an intensive way and so develop the skills and knowledge to draw together evidence-based theory and practice.
