Please note that this is a very rigorous, high-quality training course involving a considerable amount of learning. Here is an overview of the course structure and approximate study time required:
Week 0 (~2 hours required): In this week you will become familiar with the online platform, introduce yourself and meet your trainer and other trainees. The course includes a discussion forum where you will be able to ask questions, and where you will contribute to course discussions.
Weeks 1 - 4 (~8 to 10 hours of work per week): New content is made available at the start of each week. This includes reading material, explanation and demonstration videos and lesson practice. You also have assessment tasks to complete, including 3 videos of lesson demonstrations which are shared for peer feedback (no students need to be filmed for this). Active participation in the online discussion forum is required.
Week 5 (~2 hours of work): This week has no formal new content, but you will be able to revisit anything in the course before the course closes. At the end of week 5, the course website will close, and you will no longer have access to the online course.
Live sessions: There will be weekly synchronous sessions online during the course, using the Zoom platform. These will take the form of a live Q&A with your Trainer and also provide the opportunity to consolidate your understanding. For those who cannot attend the live sessions, these will be recorded and made available during the course.
