Description
Education and Student Experience Conference 2024The collaborative apprenticeship: reimagining pathways into teaching through employer partnerships
Lis Bundock and Andy Davies, School of Education
The crisis in teacher recruitment and retention has escalated to unprecedented levels. Despite marginal increases across the sector this year, recruitment figures are still set to fall well below government targets. Initial Teacher Education providers and school employers are being challenged to reimagine routes into teaching to address this shortfall and ensure that a robust pipeline of skilled teachers can meet national demand.
This presentation reflects on the School of Education’s recent response to these wider contextual challenges within the education sector, highlighting our recent success in securing a Department for Education bid to launch an innovative undergraduate teacher degree apprenticeship pilot in Secondary Maths. We will explore the challenges we faced and the strategies we used to develop new kinds of partnership working with employers and how this was fundamental in developing a curriculum grounded in the Curriculum Design Framework and the UoB Graduate Attributes. The discussion will share insights into how we were able to pivot from conventional partnership collaborations to create a curriculum that reflected the needs of employers and is designed to attract a more diverse pool of prospective applicants.
