“Although I had been teaching for 8 years previously, the PGCE had a significant impact on my practice, especially engaging with the weekly programme of readings. By the end of the course, the training hadn’t just impacted on me, it had improved practice in my department and the wider school!” – Ezzat Ali, PGCE 2020.

The Postgraduate Certificate in Education for International Trainees offers teachers based in schools outside the UK, who have not undergone a period of formal training, the opportunity to participate in a structured programme of professional development online. 

From September 2024 onwards we are offering a course with a new PGCE at the heart of the training. The PGCE will be assessed by three assignments, but there will be an opportunity to specialise for two of the modules and receive more training on areas such as:

  • SEND
  • Boarding
  • Leadership
  • Coaching and Mentoring
  • Philosophy of Education
  • International Education and other educational topics

This will be alongside a core module focusing on the fundamentals of teaching and learning. We also want to include coaching for students in order to support schools with career development.

Course content

The PGCE for International Trainees is a 37-week school-based course, during which time you will work under the guidance of your in-school mentor. Each week you will reflect on your practice and have and one-to-one meeting with your mentor to review progress and set targets. There are eight online training days (including two induction days) which will complement the weekly programme of University online resources.

You will also be assigned a university tutor who will meet you regularly (approximately once a month) to assess your progress and guide your development.

“…the time and effort she (University tutor) offers to my mentor and I is outstanding. She has been a pleasure to work alongside and to have as a supporting body throughout. Thanks to her lovely feedback during our meetings, I am at a stage where I feel confident and comfortable in my classroom.” Aishlin O’Rourke, PGCE for International Trainees (Primary).

The Postgraduate Certificate in Education is a Level 7 course and you will be assessed by three essays. If you complete the course successfully, you will gain 60 L7 credits. These can be put towards a Masters at a later date.

We are able to offer the course in most subjects and to all age levels. Your University tutor will be a subject specialist. Subjects that you can do your PGCE in include: Art, Music, Design Technology, Food Technology, Business Studies and Economics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Maths, Computer Science, English, Drama, Classics, Modern Languages, Geography, History, Religious Studies, Psychology, and Physical Education.

教师资格研究生证书课程(PGCE)面向在英国以外地区的在职教师展开。本项目旨在为那些未接受过正式教师培训的老师们提供系统化专业发展的机会。

本课程每年9月开课。PGCE是一个为期37周的课程项目,基于校本实践,面向已经在学校任职的教师展开。在项目开展期间,学员在校本导师(Mentor, 由在职学校任命)的指导下展开学习,每周接受辅导,查看进展情况并设定目标。本课程适用于大多数科目的授课教师和除幼儿园外的所有学龄段的教师。

课程必修内容包含白金汉大学提供的六次线上直播培训,每次培训持续一天;以及两次线上说明会(8月下旬)。

大学将为所有学员分配一名白金汉大学导师(Tutor)。大学导师将与学员和校本导师每月在线会面一次,以评估其学业进展、为后续项目进展提供指导,并为校本导师提供支持。

课程的核心模块是关于教学的基本方面,帮助老师提升课堂教学法。

在核心模块的基础上,2024年九月开始,本课程全面升级。课程依然是通过3篇写作作业进行评估的。但是学员们现在有机会选择两个模块进行深入研究并获得该领域的更多有针对性的培训,包括:
•    特殊教育
•    寄宿制教育
•    领导力
•    教学辅导和导师
•    教育哲学
•    国际教育和其他教育主题

这些都将建立在关注教学基本方面的核心模块的基础上。我们还将辅导(coaching)纳入到学员的学习当中以对学员所在学校的职业发展发挥积极作用。

今年的大学导师专业范围涵盖广泛,包括:艺术、音乐、设计技术、食品技术、商业研究和经济学、生物学、化学、物理学、数学、计算机科学、英语、戏剧、古典文学、现代语言、地理、历史、宗教研究、心理学和体育。

成功完成培训的教师将在课程结束时获得“教师资格研究生证书”(PGCE)。

已经有两年或以上教学经验,并有申请QTS英国教师资格证(在英国的公立学校任教时需要)需求的学员,可以申请英国教师资格证(AO QTS)评估项目。学员可在为期一年的 PGCE-online课程后申请英国教师资格证(AO QTS)评估项目。除此,教师资格研究生证书课程(国际学员)是研究生水平的课程。成功完成该课程的学员可在后续的硕士学位申请中免修60个学分。

授课方式
•六次线上培训和线上说明会(必修)
•对作业进行线上支持
•每周学术阅读课程
•每周与校本导师会面,反思教学实践并设定目标
•每月与白金汉大学导师会面

培训日程由大学举办的六场实时培训课程和两场开课培训日(8月下旬)将在线提供。拟课程时间如下(伦敦时间):
• 2024 年 8月22日 星期四 和 23 日星期五上午 9 点至下午 1 点(开课培训)

教学与评估

学员将从多个维度被评估:

  • 校本导师将在学员所就职的学校观摩评估学员的课堂教学,以确保学员每周都能获得进展。
  • 学员将通过在线表格记录自己的教学情况。
  • 白金汉大学指定导师将定期同学员联系。学员与导师定期会谈,导师将评估学员的进展并指导予以指导。
  • 学员需要完成三篇学术论文。

PGCE-在线课程的进阶
白金汉大学的 PGCE-在线课程为学生继续深造打下了理想的基础,毕业生可以继续选择本院教育硕士,并免修60学分。

成功完成 PGCE-线上课程也可以为后续获得英国教师资格证QTS打下基础。这并不是说获得了PGCE证书,申请人就自动获得了QTS。申请人仍需要满足英国政府设定的一系列要求的基础上,申请评估路径的AO QTS。

入学要求
