Students have school-based preparation training sessions underpinned by the LTU Core Competencies which will be assessed in School Experience. They develop their understanding of the principles behind the reflective tool used to consolidate their knowledge of the statutory ITT curriculum and continue to make links between how theory and practice are synthesised across centre and school. Students demonstrate their understanding of building on prior knowledge, and breaking learning down into smaller steps through preparation and deconstruction of planning sequences of lessons.
