No. Absolutely not.
Most teachers these days have a first degree already. Their job and experience means that they spend most working days collecting data, solving complex problems, implementing best practice, analysing results and communicating with others in various forms. Teachers are, and ought to be learning professionals working in learning organisations.
All professional development should be at postgraduate level, and you might ask yourself why it isn’t ? What is this other low level stuff called “professional development”? We expect you to learn about best known practice, implement it and evaluate what happens. Nothing difficult in that.
Yes. We are challenging provocative, evaluative and analytical. We seek to be at the forefront of best practice. These are the qualities of the level 4 descriptors .
The rather lengthier and wordy QAA level descriptors, which underpin this answer are attached.
Don’t forget that we are there to support you passing our programmes.
