This unit allows students to use the experiences of practical activities in schools to explore professional issues in teaching in secondary schools. The main strands of the programme are $�the classroom craft&�, $�pastoral issues&�, $�developing as a professional&� and $�inclusion&�. They will carry out formative tasks in schools which will support the development of their professional skills. The unit promotes evidence and research-based practice as a foundation for career long personal and professional development. It provides opportunities for sharing experiences with colleagues in other subject areas. Students will choose from a range of topics to explore in greater depth and on which to submit a piece of work for assessment.
