Overview
This course has been designed to address the shortage of good maths teachers within secondary schools, especially in key stages 3 and 4. A third of pupils fail maths GCSE nationally, and many of these are SEND students. However, certain schools achieve higher pass rates, including those with SEND pupils and those receiving free school meals, demonstrating that achieving better outcomes is possible when teachers are trained in this particular specialism.Teaching assistants (including part-time), lab and IT technicians, and sixth formers who have been offered a teaching assistant job after A-Levels, are ideal candidates to study on this course, and will have the opportunity to achieve Qualified Teacher Status upon its completion. It can also be suitable for those whose degree was awarded overseas yet is not recognised as an equivalent to a UK university degree.Based on our successful BA in Primary Education framework, this degree consists of eleven modules that are delivered across three years, and is designed to enable you to work in a paid, full-time job whilst studying. As the course is online, you have the flexibility to complete the work and tasks at times you can manage. You will have your own tutor from The University of Buckingham, who will support you throughout the course to ensure that you have up to date knowledge of the latest developments of Maths in schools, as well as the latest theories and strategies to support SEND pupils. Valuably, the course is integrated with your work; much of the study is based on you reflecting on your school and what happens there.The Secondary Education course content from University of Buckingham covers a wide range of topics, through interactive online delivery with assessments that are fully supported by the course staff and by your tutors. Key topics covered include: Child Development, The Purposes of Education, The Science of Learning, an overview and in-depth study of SEND, and Mathematics Teaching At Key Stage 2, 3 And 4. You will also study important topics for understanding effective teaching such as behaviour management, and being aware of barriers to learning.
