Computer Science Subject Knowledge Enhancement Course
A route into computer science teaching for non-specialists
In light of current curriculum proposals the required number of full – time equivalent secondary computer science teachers is likely to rise significantly.
There are many enthusiastic graduates with the potential to be specialist teachers but who are insufficiently qualified to enter straight into initial teacher training .
Our Subject Knowledge Enhancement courses are intensive programmes for graduates who want to teach computer science but whose degree is not a direct match or whose specialist subject knowledge needs deepening prior to training for qualified teacher status (QTS). The University of East London has designed a 12 unit course for Computer Science. They are funded by the National College for Teaching and Leadership, to equip you with the skills and subject knowledge to teach 11-16 year olds. Upon successful completion of the course, students will continue on to initial teacher training at UEL or another training provider.
Course dates
The Computer Science Subject Knowledge Enhancement Course will provisionally run from 25th Fenruary until the end of July. Upon successful completion of the course, students will move onto their chosen programme of Initial Teacher Training (PGCE or SCITT) at UEL or another training provider in September 2013.
