Overview
Module Content
Associate Teachers (Faculty of Education Initial Teacher Education students are known as Associate Teachers) spend 56 days (across two settings) to start learning how to become practitioners through experiences gained in work based learning (Schools & Networks). This will involve: weekly cluster teaching and review events
• observations and preparatory development
• close to practice research (small scale inquiries)
• integration into the teaching environment
• higher order skills practice and implementation
• mentoring and self-reflection
• further implementation through practice
• consolidation of skills and practice
• continued autonomous development & enrichment
• enrichment placement for 5 days
The school experience is progressive over the course of the Programme to develop the Associate Teachers’ competency in teaching and learning. This will include collaboratively led close to practice seminars (in placement setting) that will inform how they teach and observe in the school.
The indicative pattern is outlined below:
Total: 56 days including 8 Lead School Days. Stages 5 - 8.: Consolidation of subject skills and practice/Autonomous Development.
Specific research during cluster events and continuous cycles will link closely to the content of XCE3211, XCE3212, XCB3213, (which will be used to inform assessments from the other level 6 modules).

Cymraeg Bob Dydd and The Welsh Dimension
Reinforce and embed Cymraeg Bob Dydd to enable ATs to use and transfer Welsh language patterns and dialogue naturally, confidently and consistently.
Strategically select and critically examine enrichment activities that promote relevant aspects of The Welsh Dimension through different subjects and Areas of Learning and Experience.
**Note that all content and assessments will be explicitly linked to the new professional standards for teaching and leadership standards. They can be found at http://learning.gov.wales/docs/learningwales/publications/170901-professional-standards-for-teaching-and-leadership-en.pdf
How this module contributes towards the associate teachers progress against the professional teaching standards is tracked in an additional document.
