The course consists of three months of intense theory followed by two three month sessions of immersive work experience at two culturally and socioeconomically diverse schools. During the work experience phase students are required to formulate their own practical teaching theory based on existing theory and experience, as well as providing proof of their development as facilitators of learning.
