Learn how to develop your identity as a teacher, what influences you and how you make decisions - with this professional development lecture for trainee teachers.
Training to be a teacher is about more than theory and practice, says Ian Shirley, senior lecturer in primary music education at the Faculty of Education, Edge Hill University. Ian believes it involves the development of you as a teacher, including your ideology, practice and nuances.
In a PGCE lecture entitled Teaching, Learning and Language, Ian uses practical demonstrations to help trainee teachers and newly qualified teachers (NQTs) focus on how they see the world and the impact this has on their pedagogy and teaching.
