SummaryThe Year 3 MA PE student embarking on the Professional Development & Leadership 1 (PDL1) course outlined below will have completed two previous placements. Each student will bring to this course a Personal Professional Learning Portfolio. Based on Placement 2 and from discussion with their placement tutor, it is anticipated that students will have identified specific learning targets to overtake prior to PDL1 as well as those which they would hope to address within the PDL1 course. While it is recognised that Year 3 students will be working towards the ¿Standard for Registration¿ deemed central to their PDL1experience, it is also acknowledged that their developmental needs will vary and a degree of personalisation will be evident in relation to individual targets agreed. Achieving the ¿Standard for Registration¿ is seen as a ¿work in progress¿ which begins in Year 1 of the programme. Therefore, in light of the stage the student teachers are at in their developmental journey, standards (and assessment criteria) have been differentiated and modified where appropriate. The programme is however underpinned by the following core dimensions aligned with the GTCS¿s professional values, social justice, integrity, trust and respect (GTCS, 2012).
Course description During PDL1 student-teachers will work closely with their mentors and colleagues to achieve a satisfactory overall standard in each of the following elements associated with the standards for provisional registration, by the end of their 10 week placement (Semester 1 : September-December). PDL1 will generally commence late in September which should enable students to attend university for a review of their formative experiences in Year 1 & 2 of the BSc (Physical Education) and attend a series of workshops specifically designed to support them as they prepare for PDL1.
