New online iTeach course combats shortage of teachers - Public Technology
The UK's first online teacher training programme, iTeach, has been launched to combat diminishing numbers of maths, physics and chemistry teachers, as a report published yesterday highlighted mass teaching shortages in maths and science across the UK. iTeach is being delivered by one the UK’s leading providers of teacher education, Canterbury Christ Church University, in partnership with the largest provider of teacher education in Ireland, Hibernia College, which is a specialist in online learning programmes. ‘iTeach’ has recruited physicists, chemists and mathematicians from across the UK who are looking to make a career change and provide them with a bespoke online training package.
