GITEP SCITT

🎨✨ Creativity, collaboration and hands-on learning in action! ✨🎨

GITEP Art trainees took the lead, delivering inspiring peer-teach workshops as part of their subject pathway sessions.

Between them, the trainees explored a diverse range of creative techniques including bold graffiti-style lettering, innovative cardboard sculpture construction and crocheting methods within art practice.

These hands-on sessions provided valuable opportunities for trainees to develop their subject knowledge, share practical skills, and experience different approaches to teaching and learning in the art classroom.

If you're passionate about art, creativity and inspiring the next generation of young artists, our Art & Design Teacher Training course could be the perfect next step for you.

Adaptive Teaching in Art & Design

Our GITEP Art trainees have been diving deep into adaptive teaching, collaborating to design engaging Year 9 lessons that make creativity accessible to every learner.

From stunning wax resist stained glass designs to beautifully detailed monochrome Green Man drawings, inspired by a visit to Gloucester Cathedral, trainees explored how to:
✅ Scaffold learning effectively
✅ Standardise lesson structure
✅ Stretch and challenge higher-ability students
✅ Support all learners with clear guidance

Trainees found the experience invaluable—especially creating scaffolded worksheets that clearly present objectives, key vocabulary, instructions, and WAGOLLs (What A Good One Looks Like).

As part of their bespoke Subject Curriculum, our Science trainees visited Slimbridge Wetland Centre to see first-hand how off-site visits can enrich pupils’ learning and develop their skills.

The visit provided trainees with the opportunity to understand some of the practical considerations of organising trips including planning activities, risk assessments, health and safety, and managing timings for the day – all key elements of a teacher’s wider professional duties.

It was also a fantastic opportunity to explore the centre, design pupil-focused learning activities and observe the wildlife (the ducklings were a clear highlight! 🦆)
