It will give you the tools you’ll need to critically reflect on how children learn, what influences behaviour, and what strategies are most effective in a real-world teaching environment, and you’ll be given the opportunity to demonstrate that you can inspire, motivate and challenge pupils, adapt your teaching to respond to their strengths and needs, and manage behaviour to ensure a safe learning environment.
