You will be in school 4 days a week where you will be fully involved in all aspects of teaching. At the beginning of the year you will observe expert practitioners, moving towards leading small parts of a lesson and gradually building up to teach whole lessons.

One day a week you will have your pedagogical training, which will provide a mixture of specific Subject Studies and more general Professional Studies sessions.
