Masters in Pedagogy and Practice Mentoring Qualifications Journal Clubs for teachers
We have developed a Masters degree that is rooted in the work you do in your classrooms. This is aimed at teachers with 60 M level credits from their PGCE (or other) who want to progress and do research that impacts on their practice. Are you a mentor in school? or would you like to be? We are now offering mentoring qualifications to mentors in schools either as an internal certification or as part of a Masters Course leading into the MA(PP) There is a growing interest in looking at research and a growing demand that teachers are "research savvy" (Carter Review, Jan 2015) we would like to start some journal club
If you are interested in any of the above then please contact p.hopkins@hull.ac.uk for more details.
