BA Primary Year 2 School Based Training.

Thank You

The Journey So Far… Last year, each student spent a year in a “pod” of three students in a single school. Over the year, they had day visits and three blocks, each in a different year group. The students progressed from observing children and teachers, to group, and then whole class, teaching.

Year 2 School Based Training so far: So far, all students have completed a non- assessed placement in a KS 3 setting, looking at issues surrounding transition from KS2 to KS3, and focussing on reading recovery strategies with an individual child. They have also completed a non-assessed 2 week SEN placement.

Year 2 Units of Study… Core 2 with a focus on Assessment Teaching Studies Foundation Subjects Specialism

The Block Placement Teaching requirements = Progressive 50% by the interim visit 60% by the final visit 10% = file time 30% = professional development

File and Professional Development Time 10% of your timetable is allocated to file time (planning, evaluating, reflecting on progress etc.) 30% should be Professional Development time (observing other year groups, working on University tasks, making observations of children, display work etc.)

Preparation Phase All the requirements for this phase are on pages 11 and 12 Get to know the class with lots of observing, discussion and note taking Discuss with school tutor / mentor about the school’s approach to the teaching of systematic synthetic phonics. Make notes in the Contextual Analysis and the Phonics Workbook (more information on this later in the briefing) Discuss the lesson / session plans for the class. It is the student’s responsibility to negotiate a theme for their scheme of work (series of lessons) which allows teaching in a creative/cross curricular way.

Teaching Requirements Planning You must use the MMU Proforma – see the Partnership website. Plan for differentiation - be specific! Plan for additional adults – in all taught sessions Separate EYFS planner In addition, don’t forget your scheme of work for the Core Assignment.

Phonics All students HAVE to teach phonics (even if they are in KS2!) They will have a Professional Training & Development Handbook For Teaching Phonics
