DURHAM
The Durham Summer School offers two places in 2006 under the
CUCD/Friends of Classics ‘potential teachers’ scheme.
The Summer School is a residential course taking place at St John’s College, Durham from Saturday 22 - 29 July, run by the University of Sunderland’s Lifelong Learning programme. At the School students are members of tutorial groups of c. 10 members. All formal teaching is done in these groups. Each group has its own tutor. The Director assigns students to groups on the basis of their level of attainment in the languages. Since this Summer School has a mixture of sixth-form students, undergraduates and adult learners, it offers a unique opportunity to experience teaching students from different backgrounds.
Potential teachers would attend the School for the whole week. They would be attached to an individual tutor and his/her group, attend group teaching sessions, observing and taking part as seemed appropriate. They might take the Tutor’s role in occasional sessions or part-sessions. They would be able to offer students individual assistance at other times. They may be offered the chance to observe classes in groups other than the one to which they were assigned, and possibly to switch groups half-way through the week. They would be members of the teaching staff, a group of some 10 classicists with collective experience of universities and schools, with whom they would be encouraged to discuss professional matters. At the end of their visit they would have a meeting with their assigned Tutor and the Director, at which the experience would be reviewed.
The Summer School of the Association for Latin Teaching (ARLT - a teachers’ organization) is taking place at the same time in St John’s. This will give further chances for shared activities and talking with teachers from a wide range of backgrounds.
Applicants, who must have reached - or be about to reach - at least the end of the penultimate year of their undergraduate course, should write to:
Alan Beale (Director), 18 Holmside Place, Newcastle on Tyne, NE6 5AJ.
-
You should write before June 20;
-
You should give the name and address of one referee (normally your supervisor or tutor at University);
-
You should ask the referee to send a letter of support to the same address by the same date.
