STEM conference 2019: Creating a Mathematics teaching placement module collaboratively

This presentation will give an overview of creating and coordinating a teaching placement module in Mathematics. Many of the ideas discussed will naturally extend to other STEM subjects. The speaker created this module in collaboration with the Physics Department at Swansea University local secondary schools and a former PGCE lecturer. This module has been an excellent opportunity to develop the important employability and transferable skills of students and it also allowed students to gain a taster of teaching as a career before committing to a PGCE course.
