The MTeach has a 12 module structure with 4 core modules, 4 option modules
and 4 modules of extended work-based learning (taken as a single 4 module
project or 2, 2 module projects).
All participants in the Programme must begin by taking:
 Module
1 - Self Evaluation (Professional Development and Review)
After this,
teachers may choose to take the other core modules:
Module
2 - Learning and Teaching
Module
3 - Education for All
Module
4 - Working Together
Satisfactory completion of these four modules entitles the participant
to exit, if s/he so wishes, with a Postgraduate Certificate.
Four option modules may be taken from a range which will be developed
over time; reflecting the needs of teachers, new initiatives and the expertise
of providers. Satisfactory completion of four option modules and the four
core modules entitles the teacher to exit with a Postgraduate Diploma.
The final piece of work in the Programme must be an extended work-based
learning project. In total, participants must complete projects equivalent
to four modules in order to complete the Programme. In the final assessment
for the Programme, reporting on the outcomes of the final project(s) is
combined with the provision of evidence to show the CTS has been achieved.
Satisfactory completion of this assessment leads to the award of Master
of Teaching (MTeach) and a recommendation to the General Teaching Council
for the award of Chartered Teacher status.
After the completion of Module 1, teachers may apply for accreditation
for prior learning up to a maximum of six modules within the Master of
Teaching Programme.
Satisfactory completion of any two modules in the Programme results in
the award of one increment on the CT scale.
The normal period of study is six years, with a maximum of eight years.
Study may be continuous or intermittent.
Current fee information can
be found here, some option modules are subject
to additional costs – for example Earth Science 5 -14 entails a week-long
fieldwork trip. Modules are charged at full cost to the participant as
the Chartered Teacher Programme does not receive any government funding.
Modules will mainly run in one of two five month blocks: September to
January and February to June. This timetable in intended to enable work-based
learning and assessment submission to be completed within the module period.
In session 2008/09 it is intended that Module 1 will run at least twice.
Core modules 2, 3, 4 and five of the option modules will be offered in
2008/09.
