school centred initial teacher training with qts
The CREC Early Years Partnership (CEYP)
SCITT programme offers a one-year full-time early years school based route to qualification as a primary or early years teacher with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and postgraduate (PG) accreditation.
CREC Early Years Partnership is a consortium comprising the Centre for Research in Early Childhood ,
St Thomas Centre Nursery School , 3 regional teaching school alliances and over 50 'Good' or 'Outstanding' schools from across 4 local authority regions.
From September 2016 we've been running 2 cohorts, one in the West Midlands (Birmingham, Coventry and Solihull) and one in Cambridgeshire. The course has been devised to develop high quality teachers to work in the early years and the course, in addition to covering all Teaching Standards , includes an emphasis on: multi-agency working, leadership in the EYFS , working with 2 year olds, SEN/D, and practitioner research.
The SCITT programme benefits from the direct contributions of Professor Chris Pascal and Professor Tony Bertram from CREC, both highly experienced teacher educators, and a wider team of early years specialists and placement mentors. This course also carries postgraduate accreditation (60 Masters credits) awarded by Birmingham City University .
