Why does a minus multiplied by a minus make a plus? What is the Fibonacci sequence, and why is it essential in the field of encryption and the study of codes? The PGCE Secondary - Mathematics is an ideal choice if you love maths and want to provide young learners of all abilities with a solid grounding in numbers that will help prepare them for a wide range of careers.
Offering a combination of academic and practical learning, the course introduces you to the range and scope of mathematics across the 11-16 curriculum. Developed around the latest research and curriculum developments, the PGCE aims to develop your subject knowledge and pedagogical skills as you examine the techniques to make mathematics accessible and stimulating in a classroom environment. By learning more about the reasons behind mathematical rules, you will be better able to offer your pupils the targeted support they need.
Successful completion of the PGCE leads to a Postgraduate Certificate in Education awarded by Durham University and the recommendation for Qualified Teacher Status. The QTS element is accredited by Newcastle University and awarded by the Department of Education.
We pride ourselves on offering a well-planned blend of research and experience in the classroom to start you on your successful career as an Early Career Teacher. We emphasise your entitlement to the Core Content Framework throughout our PGCE course to fully prepare you for the Early Career Framework, which will support you during your first two years of teaching as an Early Career Teacher.
Please note that the course does not run to standard University terms. It is delivered full-time, starting in early September and continues over 10 months.
