1 Course description Postgraduate Certificate in Education Specialist Tutor (ITE Tutor) Job and Person Specification The Open University Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE), is available in England, Wales and Northern Ireland (this course is not currently available in Scotland*, Channel Islands or Isle of Man). This is a postgraduate teachereducation course that offers an individual path to qualified teacher status (QTS) and a PGCE. It is designed to meet the needs of people who cannot enter teaching by conventional routes and who need flexible study patterns, with a range of start and end dates and the possibility of full-time or part-time study. Taking account of the knowledge and experience they already have, students take a personalised route through a modular programme and school experience in regional partner schools, with training, support and assessment by OU tutors and school mentors. *The Open University is also a provider of the PGDE in Mathematics in Scotland with full and part-time options. The role and duties of the Specialist Tutor Specialist Tutors appointed to the PGCE programme will be experienced secondary subject specialist teachers whose role will be to teach, support and assess student teachers of the 11 to 16 age range. The following six secondary subjects are offered: Geography Design and Technology (all focus areas) Mathematics Modern Foreign Languages - (the University has a particular shortage of tutors who have German with French) Music Science (specialising in Biology, Chemistry or Physics) Specialist Tutors play a key role in supporting student teachers engagement with the open learning dimension of the Open University s Initial Teacher Education programme. They ensure, through liaison with the school-based subject mentor, that the student s individualised training plan provides a coherent framework for the student teacher development towards the Standards required for the Post Graduate Certificate in Education and Qualified Teacher Status. Tutors assessment role involves leading on the assessment of subject knowledge and assignments, and liaison with school-based staff recommending interim and final assessment against the outcomes for PGCE and QTS. The tutor will provide support by: maintaining an overview of their student teachers ITE experiences visiting their allocated student teachers on each school placement. (Please note each student completing the full course requires four, full day visits over the whole course) teaching through e-communication, school visits and feedback on assignments

2 working with their student teachers, sharing professional expertise and experience and analysing classroom and research evidence contributing to the assessment of their student teachers progress towards the standards for PGCE and QTS through observing teaching, reviewing schoolbased evidence and marking assignments preparing student teacher references supporting the preparation of career entry and development profile, or equivalent, for induction briefing school-based mentors about the structure and content of the OU ITE Programme and providing support when needed co-assessing with school mentor and school co-ordinator to ensure moderation of student teacher assessment monitoring school-based training and assessment for quality assurance purposes on behalf of the OU ITE Programme contributing to annual course evaluation and reviews A copy of the ITE Tutor person specification is attached as Appendix 1. General Information New tutors receive an initial briefing once they have been contracted to support a student teacher. Tutors are supported by the subject leader, and have access to an electronic forum where they can discuss issues with more experienced tutors. All tutors are expected to attend Tutor Briefing days which take place once or twice each year and are held on a Saturday. Tutor Briefings give tutors the opportunity to update their knowledge of the programme with any recent developments, ensure consistency of judgements in relation to assessment of student teachers and quality assurance of the programme. Tutors will also be expected to undertake on-going professional development and training as required in line with the role and responsibilities of the post. Tutors may also contribute to the PGCE day schools, both subject-focused and generic. Payment and workload Payment is based on the tasks tutors complete for their student teachers as they progress through the course. Payments cover time spent supporting students online, and over the telephone, portfolios marked and school visits, briefing mentors and attending Tutor Briefing days. Also covered are payments for the preparation of references and career entry and development profiles, or equivalent, and e- communication. All duties, with the exception of school visits, can take place outside normal school working hours. There are other payments, such as a contribution towards the cost of computing. The number of students allocated to a tutor depends on the capacity of the tutor and the number of student teachers in the geographical location. The overall payment to tutors depends on the number of students tutored and the route that the students are following through the programme. As a rough guide, a tutor who is allocated a student undertaking all levels of the course may receive payment of over 1500 spread over the student s programme, which could be up to 2 years.
