Local Opportunities

 
The University of the West of England is offering an opportunity for Heads / Deputies who have an NPQH to accredit that learning towards a Masters Degree in the faculty.

Having a Teaching Qualification (PGCE plus QTS or a BEd/Ba (QTS); or an older Teaching Certificate gains 30 credits.  The NPQH experience then can be accredited through 4 x 1000 work commentaries on 4 aspects of the NPQH learning.  This is done with workshop support (two sessions) which can gain 90 credits.  This total of 120 credits is equivalent to a Postgraduate Diploma or can go towards the MA (180 credits).  If the MA path is chosen then this means the candidate would go straight into the Researching Education Module before proceeding to their dissertation.

We feel that 4 x 1000 words reviewing how the NPQH has moved on their learning is not too onerous a task and makes short work of a Masters degree - if that is what is desired.  Some Heads have already expressed an interest and enrolled.

There are two workshops planned for:
  •  Thursday October 6th 7.00 - 7.00 pm
  •  Thursday February 2nd 5.00 - 7.00 pm
However anyone interested is welcome to call Christine Macfarlane at any time:
Faculty of Education 0117 9656261
Or my direct line 0117 3284189
Or email me christine.macfarlane@uwe.ac.uk
