General Professional StudiesThese sessions form part of the CTG PgCE course and are held on Monday mornings at Challney High School for Boys and Community College. Sessions are led by CTG staff and a variety of other educational experts. Trainee's active participation and collaboration are encouraged.
The GPS is particularly concerned with:- inducting trainees into
the major dimensions of the educational debate;
- enabling trainees to
describe and rationally justify their professional practice;
- basing their growing
professional judgement on a disciplined understanding of the wider context of
education;
- fostering a
whole-school/whole curriculum perspective on the role of the teacher;
- enabling trainees to
locate their work as subject teachers within the context of both the National
Curriculum as a whole and their contractual obligations as members of the
broader staff team;
- enabling trainees to
achieve an understanding of the principles underlying curriculum development
and how these apply to syllabus development and the construction of lesson
plans and schemes of work;
- enabling trainees to
become effective members of pastoral teams;
- providing opportunities
to prepare for and reflect upon specific practical experiences provided during
the course.
