Student Teachers: Inspire with Film

Great teaching is magical mix of art and science. Just like film. 

And just like the best filmmakers, there are special educators who make the job look effortless. Maybe you were lucky enough to be taught by one. Perhaps your decision to become a teacher can be traced back to them. Or maybe you were inspired by a great example from the big screen… 

About the course 
Student Teachers: Inspire with Film has been designed to support your progression to becoming a qualified teacher.  

It brings the big screen experience to your interactive whiteboard and introduces activities that can support your learners’ development – whatever age or subject you teach. It also explores how representations of the profession on film can help you to reflect on your educational values. 

Ongoing support
By working through the course, you’ll get access to classroom-ready resources, advice from experts in the field of teacher education and you’ll come away with a bank of activities that you can try out straightaway on your school placements. You can also use the course as ongoing bank of potential lesson ideas by tapping into the shared wisdom of your peers in the course community. 

Tried and tested
The course complements the professional development programme we run with universities and teacher training organisations across the UK. Over the last 10 years, we’ve supported thousands of student teachers to embed the power of film in their lessons to inspire, excite and engage learners of all abilities.
