You will select a subject to focus on in greater depth from the following options: English, Social Justice Education (humanities), SEND, STEM, Physical Education. Early Years students will focus on the Advanced Study of Early Years as their subject.
This module will build on what you have already learnt about your subject from the compulsory modules of the programme and the first semester subject study module. You will grow in confidence to become an advocate for the best principles of Early Years in primary schools.
You will critically reflect on your positionality as a teacher and explore the subject’s importance in primary schools. In so doing, you will consider where and how their area of interest fits into school frameworks and policy. Whilst this module is not about becoming a subject co-ordinator, the importance of leadership values and attributes will be explored through the context of the subject.
