Introduction:
Secondary school teachers equip pupils with fundamental knowledge and skills – setting them up for adulthood. The role of a secondary teacher is to deliver specialised subject knowledge, as well as support intellectual and personal development. With high demand for secondary teachers, you can be certain that you’ll make a positive impact on the lives of your pupils and society.
Whether you’re currently studying for a degree, have recently graduated or are planning a career change, studying with us will enable you to launch your career as a dynamic and inspirational secondary school teacher. At NTU, we understand that the best way to learn how to teach is in the classroom. This is why you’ll spend much of your time during the course in schools.
You’ll be taught by former secondary school teachers here at the university and mentored by teachers in schools, who will support you in building your expertise, critical thinking and creativity. You’ll cover the curriculum in detail, and learn how to bring it to life for students, developing who you are as a teacher.
You’ll be equipped with the subject knowledge and professional skills needed to meet the expectations of secondary school teachers, shaping the lives of our young people by sharing your passion and inspiring theirs.
