Those with enthusiasm for their subject and a good understanding of how to bring out the best talents in children are vital people.
Teaching is challenging and rewarding, hard work and fun.
Teachers and their schools also influence the lives of the future generation in subtle ways, often providing a solid reference point of values for many youngsters whose home situations can be very fluid. Such important and influential professionals have to be thoroughly prepared for their work. Here at Leeds University, the School of Education, in partnership with over 80 schools in and around Leeds, prepares you through a carefully structured and invigorating course to enter the teaching profession. The secondary PGCT course is designed to prepare you to discharge the wide range of professional duties demanded of a secondary school teacher including the teaching of your own subject specialism. This course is structured flexibly so that those currently employed can study for teaching whilst continuing their work.
