Booster
courses for potential ITE students |
| |
 |
| With
the demise of the TDA sponsored booster course there is still a need for
candidates for PGCE course to obtain subject knowledge before commencing
their course. There are several routes that are available: |
 |
Oxford
Brookes offer modules as part of their distance learning
BA course. These can be studied before embarking on the PGCE course. Each
module is about 150 hours of study (3 weeks) and costs £195. More
details from the Oxford
Brookes website, or click
here for a list of modules. |
|
| REonline
and TeachRE is now offering
a Subject Knowledge Booster Course to graduates. It enables those graduates
without sufficient specialist knowledge to meet the expectations of trainers
to have the required level of knowledge and understanding of the main belief
traditions in the UK, as well as some understanding of its use in the classroom.
The course is a distance learning on-line package with structured tasks
which will involve tutorial support from the TeachRE team and current PGCE
trainers. Course time is flexible, but it is anticipated it can be completed
in a month. The cost is £100 for standard level, and £150 if
additional subject knowledge support is required. Details
