| AdminHistory | The 1972 James Report on Teacher Education and Training examined course content, the different types of training institution, and the relationship between trainee teachers and other students. It proposed a radical reorganisation of teacher training into three stages ('cycles'). The first cycle (two years) would consist of a general higher education course - a degree, a new qualification, or a two-year Diploma in Higher Education. The second cycle would consist of a year of professional studies followed by a year as a 'licensed teacher' (replacing the existing probationary year). A student who successfully completed these four years would be awarded a BA(Ed). The third cycle would consist of in-service training which James recommended should amount to the equivalent of at least a term every seven years for all teachers in post. |
