BA (Hons) <strong>Teaching</strong>, <strong>Learning</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Mentoring</strong> <strong>Practice</strong><br />

The degree in <strong>Teaching</strong>, <strong>Learning</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Mentoring</strong> <strong>Practice</strong> provides an<br />

opportunity for teaching assistants <strong>and</strong> support staff to build upon their skills<br />

<strong>and</strong> knowledge in the field of primary or secondary education.<br />

Pathway A is intended for those who want to develop their professional work<br />

within the wider Children’s workforce. Pathway B is for primary support staff<br />

considering QTS <strong>and</strong> wish to develop more specialist knowledge in this area<br />

<strong>and</strong> Pathway C is intended for secondary support staff considering QTS in<br />

Secondary ICT.<br />

This is a four year, part-time degree that enables students to engage in workbased<br />

learning. It offers wider participation, flexible learning <strong>and</strong> is a valuable<br />

qualification in its own right. Part-time Students may exit this degree at the<br />

end of level 5 with the award of a foundation degree or may transfer to one of<br />

the QTS programmes, subject to interview/ availability.<br />

Students on the current degree have appreciated the way in which the<br />

programme fits in with family life <strong>and</strong> work commitments. They comment that,<br />

in addition to developing knowledge <strong>and</strong> essential skills, the programme has<br />

given them confidence <strong>and</strong> has helped them to underst<strong>and</strong> their supporting<br />

roles <strong>and</strong> responsibilities in working alongside their peers, teachers <strong>and</strong><br />

pupils.<br />
