Embedding Professional Practice in Primary and Early Year Settings (X6617)

30 credits, Level 6

Autumn and spring teaching

On this module, you’ll develop your full potential in competence and professionalism as a beginning teacher.

During your professional practice, you’ll apply and strengthen your knowledge and understanding of:

  • Primary/Early Years education in a specific classroom setting
  • whole class, small groups and individual teaching
  • leadership of learning
  • measuring success against the Teachers’ Standards (DfE, 2012).

You’ll get regular tutorial support and feedback from an experienced practitioner through:

  • formative assessment
  • observation
  • oral and written feedback.

Throughout the module, you’ll have the opportunity to:

  • contribute to wider school/setting life
  • demonstrate the attributes and values of a committed, reflective, and proactive practitioner.

We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2026/27. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.

We’ll make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
