Alternative routes to Success, D&T Practice: The Design and Technology Publication for the Profession

Abstract

There are numerous routes into the teaching profession; each in turn prepares those wishing to teach design and technology, from able trainees into exceptional teachers. However, proposals contained within the government's White paper: The Importance of Teaching, suggest significant reform to the way in which many teachers are trained. The papers implies a move away from undergraduate training routes, which coupled with the recent reduction in teacher trainee numbers, creates a potential threat to initial teacher training undergraduate provision.
