Did you know that 44% of teachers are planning to leave the profession by 2027?
If you’re wondering what this means for the industry’s future, it’s that job opportunities are increasing. This blog explores how the University of Bolton is proud to support your teaching ambitions, and how we plan to enhance your teaching training knowledge with our Centre of Pedagogy event.
Why are Teachers Important?
There’s no doubt that teaching is a challenging career due to the heavy workload, but it’s also one of the most rewarding. Teachers are key to creating a brighter future, and in some cases, keeping students on the right path. How great would it feel to hear about one of your students succeeding? For example, look at the journey of Musharaf Asghar from his appearance on Educating Yorkshire in 2013 to now. Musharaf captured attention on the show due to his severe stammer. He is also proof that teachers can change lives, as the work that his teacher, Mr. Burton did with him has had a major impact on his recent achievement of earning a degree in broadcast journalism. It’s because of this hard work that the 25-year-old is on the right path towards his dream career as a sports journalist.
What is Pedagogy?
You might be wondering what pedagogy is, right? Essentially, it refers to the study of teaching methods, including the aims of education and the ways that goals could be achieved. Pedagogy heavily relies on educational psychology, relating to the scientific theories of learning, and to a certain extent, the philosophy of education. Through understanding this, you should have a basic foundation of the value of education, and ultimately, what makes a great teacher.
The University of Bolton’s Pedagogy Event
Are you an experienced professional teacher, former trainee teacher, education mentor, or assessor wanting to enhance your teaching knowledge?
At Bolton, we are proud to present ‘The Centre of Pedagogy: Celebrating Teaching and Learning – What Makes Great Teaching?’
Providing continuing professional development opportunities to those in the education sector, the event will deliver an online presentation of educational research to meet the teaching-intensive, research-informed agenda at the university. It offers a great opportunity to benefit from the experience of industry experts and stay up-to-date with recent research in the education area.
Our guest speakers include:
- Reena Bhogal-Welsh – An experienced high-school educational practitioner who offers a unique view into classrooms and the practice of experienced teachers: ‘Metacognition and sharing models of practice that have been implemented in an outstanding school’
- Sam Jones (Editor) & Stacey Salt (chapter author) of the new book: Great Further Education (FE) Teaching (Nov 2022) opening the discussion of: ‘What makes great FE teaching?’
