York St John University, PGCE, Primary Education (Lower Primary, 3-7)

 United Kingdom
There is a gradual introduction to the task of teaching through a carefully selected programme; 1st, a 2-week initial school-based placement, meant to ensure students have a good basic understanding of the work of the primary school; a serial attachment when students work alongside a class teacher gaining experience of working with individuals and small groups and teaching elements of whole class sessions; then students spend 5 weeks teaching independently but with support from a class teacher aimed to build knowledge and confidence in teaching and managing a whole class; students then move on to spending a short time working alongside teachers in an inner city school, enabling them to understand the opportunities and challenges offered by a culturally diverse context; finally students spend 8 weeks attached to a class gradually taking over the role of the class teacher.
