Description
The aim of this module is to enable students to meet outcomes that can only be acquired, developed, and demonstrated within the classroom. It has a focus on practical skills across all standards and includes teaching practice (TP). TP, together with the observation of colleagues working with learners with SI, provides a valuable opportunity for the trainee to develop as a reflective practitioner. The module isolates all the specific professional requirements required to be named a 'qualified teacher of...' according to DfE criteria as opposed to the more academic components in other modules in this programme.
Some of the practical aspects of the module will require attendance at study weekends.
Learning Outcomes

Demonstrate skills in planning and teaching a programme suitable for children with sensory impairment, using relevant and differentiated teaching methods
