Certificate in Supporting Learning in Primary Schools in The Open University
1) Prior to the beginning of the module, it is very desirable that you gain some experience of supporting children’s learning in a primary school. You also need to have some knowledge of how schools for primary-aged children work.
2) While studying the module, it is a requirement that you are based in a primary school or special school which has primary-aged pupils or a closely-related primary school setting such as a pupil referral unit. This could be either as an employed teaching assistant or a volunteer helper working alongside teachers and supporting children’s learning in classrooms. This should be for the equivalent of at least one day or five hours per week for the duration of the module.
