Description

Secondary Education Teaching Support Level 3 Training consists of 11 structured lectures, supported by focused lessons and a final assessment, designed to build progressive understanding of secondary education and teaching support practice.

The course begins with an introduction to secondary education, covering the UK secondary education system, educational policies, standards, and the roles and responsibilities associated with Secondary School Teacher support.

Educational psychology and child development explore learning theories, adolescent cognitive and emotional development, and the implications for classroom management and student engagement.

Curriculum design and assessment introduce curriculum alignment, assessment strategies, differentiation, and inclusive education principles used within secondary schools.

Pedagogical strategies focus on effective teaching methods, classroom and behaviour management approaches, and the integration of technology to support learning.

Subject-specific methodology provides awareness of subject knowledge requirements, pedagogical approaches, lesson planning, and classroom resources, adaptable to different secondary subjects.

Special educational needs and inclusion address identifying and supporting learners with SEN, legal and ethical responsibilities, and creating inclusive learning environments.

Professionalism and ethical practices examine ethical guidelines, professional development, communication skills, and maintaining positive teacher-student relationships.

Practical teaching experience introduces teaching practice awareness, mentorship, supervision, and reflective teaching approaches, without implying independent teaching authority.

Assessment and feedback explore formative and summative assessment methods, constructive feedback techniques, and data-informed educational decision-making.

Educational research and innovation examine research methodologies, staying current with educational trends, and innovation in teaching and learning practices.

The capstone project concludes the course, requiring learners to design and reflect on an educational project, evaluate teaching experiences, and present learning insights within an academic framework.

The final exam assesses learners’ understanding of secondary education principles, teaching support practice, professionalism, and inclusive learning awareness.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
