The AGA PYPA program consists of two modules:

Research-led Reflective Practice (EDPM30) is primarily university-based and will include:

Core Studies: focuses on the transcendental issues that guide policies in the cultural context of Wales
Subject Studies: focuses on the pedagogy in your subject area, lesson planning, understanding the placement of your subject in the Learning and Experience Areas
Improving Subject Knowledge: focuses on reviewing the curriculum requirements in your subject area and preparing you for the subjects you may be teaching
Professional Studies and Pedagogy: focuses on the implications for your subject area in terms of whole school issues such as provision for children with additional learning needs, differentiation and assessment.
Research methods in education: focuses on research methodologies suitable for educational purposes and preparing you for your practice-based research project.
EDPM30 is 60 credits level 7. Students who complete 60 credits at Level 7 can transfer the credits to our MA Education .
The aim of Professional Practice (EDP300) is to ensure that all trainee teachers develop a deep understanding of how the Professional Standards for Teaching and Leadership link to the Four Purposes of the new Curriculum for Wales. This module leads to the recommendation of Qualified Teacher Status. Student teachers will spend at least 120 days doing Professional Practice in two schools in the network where they are based, and will have further opportunities in a variety of supporting settings. EDP300 combines research with classroom practice through a Practice and Theory course delivered jointly by Subject Tutors and specialist teachers in the network's schools. Subject Mentors and Subject Tutors will provide strong individual support to trainee teachers who
