📚 Deepening Knowledge, Strengthening Practice 🍎 This week, our trainees are embarking on the next stage of their PGCE studies, engaging with research, critical reflection, and educational theory that sits alongside their school-based practice. Whilst classroom experience is vital, it is the combination of theory, research and practice that helps teachers make informed decisions about how pupils learn best. Through their PGCE, trainees explore evidence-informed approaches to teaching, learning, behaviour, assessment, and inclusion, enabling them to develop strategies that have a meaningful impact on pupil progress. At Cornwall SCITT, we are committed to developing reflective practitioners who can draw on educational research to adapt their teaching, meet the needs of diverse learners, and continually improve outcomes for the children and young people of Cornwall. #CornwallSCITT #PGCE #TeacherTraining #EvidenceInformedPractice #EducationalResearch #TeacherEducation #PupilProgress #CornwallEducation #FutureTeachers #LifelongLearning

What makes someone want to become a teacher? 
For one of our aspiring teachers, the answer was simple:
“To inspire young people.”
That was just one of the powerful conversations during a session with James Davidson, Headteacher at Penair School and Chair of Cornwall SCITT, who took time out to share his valuable experience with our teacher training cohort.
From the challenges of the classroom to the rewards of making a difference, James gave our future teachers a valuable insight into life in the profession and what it really means to inspire the next generation.
We can’t wait to see the difference they make!
