I want to teach in the Scottish Highlands…

PGDE Full Time Primary & Secondary

Why choose these programmes?

These established programmes offer you a full time

course within Highland region based in Inverness or

North Highland College, joining a cohort from across

the wider UHI network.

UHI and school staff work together within a successful

partnership model to provide experience that is

current, locally contextualised and fit for national

purpose, and follows a clear progression.

PGDE staff include tutors who work across teacher

education programmes in UHI and those with recent/

current school-based responsibilities.


Why choose these programmes? cont.

Programme learning materials are updated annually,

drawing extensively on the wide range of professional

capital available. The programme team work

collaboratively to stay responsive to the emerging

needs of each student teacher cohort.

Secondary subjects are Biology, Chemistry, Computing,

English, Gaelic, Home Economics, Mathematics, Physics

and Technology. We also offer a Gaelic Medium

pathway for both the Primary and Secondary

programme.


What makes them unique?

Highland Council plan to offer you a probation year

within their schools or you can choose to apply to

other Local Authorities.

Our tutor team is also dispersed across UHI so that

each cohort of local students has dedicated and

supportive tutor contact in their UHI Academic Partner

and LA context. We offer a blended learning

programme, delivered through UHI technologies,

building your digital literacy as you learn.


What makes them unique? cont.

We teach through a range of structured groupings,

offering cross–LA and cross-programme perspectives

and regular opportunities for professional dialogue

about your emerging professionalism. Programme

pedagogies intentionally model the approaches you

can then use in your own teaching placements, with an

emphasis on developing your professional agency and

identity experientially right from the start.


Programme structure

The programmes run from August until June, with 18

weeks in college and 19 weeks in

school. Placements are in blocks of between 5 and 8

weeks, in three placement schools. These feed into and

out of the College-based weeks to frame an integrated

journey to provisional registration.


Programme structure cont.

The College-based weeks are organised thematically

and offer a range of tutor-led and independent,

collaborative and individual learning opportunities.

There are six discrete assignments to complete in

College, your classroom teaching is assessed in each

placement school, and you will also maintain a

reflective portfolio of your professional practice-based

learning.
