Taking study further?
Masters in Pedagogy and Practice Mentoring Qualifications Journal Clubs for teachers
We have developed a Masters degree that is rooted in the work you do in your classrooms. This is aimed at teachers with 60 M level credits from their PGCE (or other) who want to progress and undertake research that impacts on their practice. Are you a mentor in school? or would you like to be? We are now offering mentoring qualifications to mentors in schools either as an internal certification or as part of a Masters Course leading into the MA(PP) There is a growing interest in looking at research and a growing demand that teachers are "research savvy" (Carter Review, Jan 2015) are you interesting in having a session at your school or would you like to start a journal club?
If you are interested in any of the above then please contact p.hopkins@hull.ac.uk for more details.
