Inspire to Educate

If you’re curious about teaching, even just a little, this enrichment is for you. You don’t need to be 100% sure yet; it’s all about finding out what teaching is really like. You’ll take part in a hands-on enrichment programme that goes behind the scenes of the classroom. You’ll learn the key skills teachers use every day, like how lessons are planned, how students learn, and how teachers keep lessons engaging. The programme is delivered with South Birmingham College Teaching School, so you’ll be learning from real teachers in real schools.

Why choose this enrichment?
This enrichment helps you try out teaching, build useful skills, and make informed choices about your future. If you’re considering teaching as a future career, this is a great way to get ahead. You will learn how to explain your ideas in a clear way, speak with confidence, and work well with other people. It will also help you get better at planning tasks and managing your time. These skills are valuable in any future career, as good communication, teamwork, organisation, and confidence are important in almost every job.

How long will the enrichment last?
It will last 12 weeks with the first group of students taking part in the enrichment from September to December and the second group of students from January – April.

How much time a week will it involve?
One period a week for the main session.

What will it cost?
