Module Code & Title
ET682: School-Based Training 2 (SBT2): Embedding Effective Practice.
Level 6
20 Credits
Key Dates
SBT2: 27th January to 27th March 2020.
University days: Friday 6th March 2020; whole week beginning Monday 30th March to Friday 3rd
April 2020.
SBT2 PB Interim assessment due 28th February 2020.
SBT2 PC Final assessment due 20th March 2020.
Aims
Provide opportunities for trainees to consolidate and embed practice, gaining further
experiences and evidence towards the current Teachers’ Standards;
Enable trainees to acquire the knowledge, skills and understanding necessary for the
professional role of an independent and reflective teacher;
Enable trainees to reflect upon and critically evaluate their experiences, identifying professional
strengths and needs, and setting targets for their continued professional development.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of the module students will be able to:
LO1: Use a range of effective behaviour management strategies appropriate to the context and
age phase (TS1, TS5, TS7);
LO2: Plan, teach and evaluate sequences of lessons which demonstrate secure subject and
pedagogical knowledge appropriate to the context, curriculum and age phase (TS1, TS2,
TS3, TS4, TS5, TS6);
LO3: Integrate a range of assessment strategies to inform planning, support pupil progress and
address the needs of individual learners (TS2, TS5, TS6);
LO4: Acting on advice and feedback, critically analyse and reflect on professional practice to
identify strengths and areas of professional development (TS4, TS8);
LO5: Actively contribute to teaching teams, take responsibility of a class teacher for 50% time, and
work collaboratively with members of staff including planning for the deployment of additional
adults. (TS4, TS5, TS8, Part II).
Achieving these learning outcomes will provide evidence towards achievement of the Teachers’
Standards, relative to the expectations of the school-based training period.

During weeks 1 & 2, initially take some small groups
independently, quickly moving to team-teaching whole class with
class teacher.
Increase teaching load to independently teaching whole class for
approximately 50% timetable by week 4 (see page 2 for
breakdown of teaching expectations).
Planning* for individual lessons/groups to be initially supported by
class teacher / mentor, but becoming increasingly independent,
using school’s plans or scheme of work.
*Although trainees are expected to independently plan, teach and
evaluate sequences of lessons in SBT2, they should use the
school’s existing plans as starting points, adapting them to suit the
needs of the children in their class.
UoB individual lesson plan to be used initially (e.g. weeks 1-3);
subsequently UoB weekly or school planning template (amended if
necessary) used as appropriate and with agreement of mentor /
UT. When using school planning template, boxes A, B &
Evaluation must be added to cover core elements of planning (SBT
handbook pp.41 & 42).
Trainees should join planning teams where possible for PPA, but
take responsibility for adapting the school’s plans for individual
lessons for their own class. Planning should be with support as
needed from class teacher / mentor / year group leader. Attending
PPA time is part of the trainee’s 25% non-contact time.
By the end of SBT2 trainees should be able to:
Using and adapting as necessary school’s plans / scheme of work,
independently plan (i.e. independently adapt school plans for the
needs of their own class), teach and evaluate sequences of whole-
class lessons in a range of areas of learning / NC subjects.
If in EYFS (3-7) or KS1 (Primary), plan, teach and evaluate a
series of SSP lessons.
