Whilst in university, you will be supported to deconstruct exemplary practice and then plan and deliver ‘microteach’ sessions. These sessions will allow you the opportunity to take your developing practice ‘live’ in a supportive environment and will build in complexity and duration over the course.

Career pathways

As a London Metropolitan University-trained teacher, you'll be highly employable. Teachers who have trained with London Met go on to work in London and beyond, developing further specialisms and finding long-term employment in a range of specialist roles.
