The role

For teaching delivery, Sheffield Institute of Education (SIoE) is organised into varied subject areas. We are interested in applications for the Secondary Education area with a specialism in Secondary Design Technology (DT). The DT course develops students to teach at Key Stage 3 & 4 with post-16 enrichment. You will teach on the PGCE Secondary Design Technology with QTS courses across the Provider-led and Lead Partner (LP) routes.

The PGCE Secondary DT with QTS course recruits across both Lead Partner and Sheffield Hallam-led routes. Your role will include responsibility for teaching, learning and assessment of students at post-graduate level. You will also work with our partners who provide trainee education placements. 

Staff members with the appropriate DT experience and qualifications may be asked to contribute to Primary ITT, other related teaching at Masters and Undergraduate level, school visits and academic advising. We also encourage staff to continue to develop their own research profile and there are varied opportunities and support to do this for all academic staff.

The Institute is home to extensive expertise in inclusion and disability studies as well as all aspects of TESOL education.
