MESSAGE FROM THE CEO<br />

Message from the CEO<br />

The academic year <strong>2024</strong>-<strong>2025</strong> marks a significant<br />

milestone for the Institute for Education (<strong>IfE</strong>) as<br />

it celebrates its 10 th anniversary. Since its inception<br />

in 2015 it has served as a key institution for initial<br />

teacher training, professional development of all<br />

stakeholders involved in the education sector,<br />

and the development of qualifications for anyone<br />

providing a service in schools. The <strong>IfE</strong> has<br />

consistently prioritised its commitment to shaping<br />

future generations through an evolving learning<br />

community. The <strong>IfE</strong> has moulded professionals<br />

who have at heart the wellbeing of their students<br />

through rewarding educational experiences.<br />

Within a constantly changing world, the <strong>IfE</strong> team<br />

persevered to propose worthwhile practices that<br />

could happen in schools and in classrooms.<br />

Our journey began with a vision ‘To shape future<br />

generations through an ever-evolving learning<br />

environment.’ Anchored in values of equity and<br />

social justice, the <strong>IfE</strong> has unwaveringly upheld these<br />

principles in every course designed and delivered.<br />

It prioritises the fostering of learning communities<br />

that influence the student’s holistic development in<br />

a personalised way.<br />

The <strong>IfE</strong>’s personalised learning approach recognises<br />

the unique strengths, aspirations, and challenges<br />

of each course participant. The team’s dedication<br />

extends to supporting each person throughout the<br />

educational journey. Competencies are developed<br />

in an inclusive environment that places the wellbeing<br />

of the course participant at the centre of all<br />

decisions taken.<br />

Our commitment to steer away from traditional<br />

assessment methods and adopt a no-examination<br />

policy proved to be successful throughout these<br />

years. We have championed alternative forms of<br />

assessment that focus on holistic development,<br />

critical thinking, and practical application of<br />

knowledge. The successful application of such an<br />

assessment practice and the strong evidence of<br />

learning, support our decision in this matter; and we<br />

intend to continue to improve whenever possible.<br />

During the past decade, the <strong>IfE</strong> has forged<br />

collaborations and partnerships with esteemed<br />

institutions and external contributors both locally<br />

and abroad. This has enriched the institution and<br />

has brought in several opportunities for the course<br />

participants to broaden their experiences in the<br />

world outside the education sector. The wealth<br />

of information and the encountering of diverse<br />

perspectives continuously enhance the educational<br />

experiences of our course participants contributing<br />

to their professional progress.<br />

Our dedication to research has elevated the <strong>IfE</strong>’s<br />

status as a significant contributor to education.<br />

Our involvement in the ongoing dialogue about<br />

effective teaching methodologies, teacher<br />

professional development, and educational policy<br />

has increased during the past few years, and we<br />

intend to strengthen this area and to become more<br />

influential.<br />

Acknowledging that growth comes with challenges,<br />

the <strong>IfE</strong> remains steadfast in overcoming hurdles


<strong>IfE</strong> PROSPECTUS <strong>2024</strong>-<strong>2025</strong><br />

and embracing future opportunities. Our focus<br />

remains on empowering educators, and all involved<br />

to be beneficial to the holistic development of each<br />

student in this pathway of growth.<br />

As we move forward, the <strong>IfE</strong> commits that the<br />

courses will remain accessible and inclusive,<br />

catering to diverse course participants coming from<br />

various backgrounds. The <strong>IfE</strong> will be at the forefront<br />

of educational innovation by regularly reviewing<br />

its programmes, adopting emerging pedagogical<br />

approaches, and staying attuned to developments<br />

in schools.<br />

YEARS OF <strong>IfE</strong><br />

2015-<strong>2025</strong><br />

During the past ten years, the <strong>IfE</strong> has provided a<br />

pathway for many interested in, or working in the<br />

field of education to become professionals in this<br />

sector. As <strong>IfE</strong> celebrates its 10th year, it perseveres<br />

in its contribution to education, resilience, and to the<br />

holistic development of the learners guaranteeing<br />

to remain committed to empowering individuals<br />

with the competencies needed to thrive in this very<br />

complex world.<br />

Here for you


SEIZE THE OPPORTUNITY<br />

Since 2018, the <strong>IfE</strong> offers the right opportunity for those who want<br />

to pursue a career in education. One can seek to become a teacher<br />

by choosing a suitable qualification pathway through either Bachelor<br />

of Education, Postgraduate Diploma or Master of Education.Qualified<br />

teachers can opt to progress in their career by pursing a Master’s<br />

Degree in Applied Educational Leadership. Furthermore, the professional<br />

educator that self-reflects will value the different awards offered that<br />

can bridge the gaps one may have. Each year the <strong>IfE</strong> offers more<br />

streams as part of the initial teacher training qualifications and more<br />

awards for continuous professional development in various areas.<br />

Moreover, the <strong>IfE</strong> offers a specialised course for those working in the<br />

areas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics through<br />

the Master of Science in STEM Education and Engagement.<br />

REMAIN RELEVANT<br />

The <strong>IfE</strong> is committed to<br />

deliver courses that are<br />

relevant, practical and<br />

accessible. The assessment<br />

of all courses is formative<br />

and continuous, without<br />

the use of examinations, so<br />

that evidence of learning<br />

is collected for all learning<br />

outcomes and not just for a<br />

limited sample.<br />

RETAIN YOUR FLEXIBILITY<br />

Choosing to enrol on a course with<br />

the <strong>IfE</strong> is a decision to study for a<br />

high standard qualification or award<br />

that is delivered part-time using a<br />

blended learning modality. The quality<br />

and expectations remain as high as<br />

for any qualification that is delivered<br />

full-time. Resiliency and a growth<br />

mindset are therefore a prerequisite,<br />

since studying while having other<br />

commitments can offer a challenge<br />

which can be overcome if there is a<br />

clear vision and passion.


<strong>IfE</strong> PROSPECTUS <strong>2024</strong>-<strong>2025</strong><br />

BECOME AN INFLUENCER<br />

Apart from expanding your potential and broadening your<br />

horizons, you will become a professional that has influence<br />

on a child’s future self, their knowledge, their attitude, their<br />

wellbeing and ultimately their happiness.<br />

Your self-belief will be enhanced as you will have the<br />

opportunity to recognise your achievements and understand<br />

what gaps you might have in your learning. You will be<br />

empowered to take the necessary steps to bridge that gap,<br />

leading to your development as a professional.<br />

REACH OUT<br />

Support will be provided throughout your learning path. The<br />

lecturers, course coordinators, supervisors and the student<br />

affairs manager will be there to assist you every time you<br />

reach out. You will be given various opportunities to provide<br />

your feedback. Our intention is to enhance our processes,<br />

procedures and, above all, our courses so as to remain<br />

relevant and forward-looking.<br />

This will not only be a journey of the mind but of your whole<br />

self if you allow it to be so. At the <strong>IfE</strong> you can be critical,<br />

present your ideas and be innovative. Schools and society in<br />

general need educators who can face challenges even when<br />

they get tough. Our focus is the child, and you will be an<br />

invaluable bridge to the development of that child.

WORK INTEGRATED LEARNING<br />

Work Integrated Learning<br />

The <strong>IfE</strong>’s aspiration is that Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) is embedded as a formal component into its<br />

undergraduate and postgraduate courses. Therefore, degree programmes addressed towards educators’<br />

development and initial teacher training have embedded within them a WIL component; this is reflected<br />

primarily through the teaching practice and the micro-placement modules. The WIL Department offers<br />

course participants the opportunity to apply the theoretical knowledge gained from their academic settings<br />

to a work-based scenario.<br />

Teaching Practice<br />

Teaching Practice is a vital component of initial<br />

teacher-training programmes as it provides an<br />

opportunity for the learners to put theory into<br />

practice and to self-reflect on teaching and<br />

assessment methods employed in the classroom.<br />

Furthermore, this module is an integral part of the<br />

programme, which will also contribute towards<br />

partially fulfilling the requirements outlined by the<br />

Council for the Teaching Profession with respect<br />

to applications for a teacher’s warrant.<br />

The <strong>IfE</strong> offers Teaching Practice placements within<br />

the following degree programmes:<br />

Practice Placements are also featured in short<br />

TESTIMONIAL<br />

I am thrilled to share my positive experience during my teaching practice,<br />

which was truly enhanced by the exceptional support and understanding<br />

of the tutors and the school. Throughout my journey, the tutors have<br />

shown a deep understanding of the challenges I faced whilst offering<br />

invaluable advice and guidance. Their insightful feedback helped me<br />

refine my teaching skills. Furthermore, the school’s administration offered<br />

unwavering support and played a pivotal role in creating a nurturing<br />

environment for professional growth and learning. Their encouragement<br />

and assistance boosted my confidence and fuelled my passion for<br />

teaching. I am grateful for the teaching practice experiences as they have<br />

undoubtedly shaped me into a more accomplished future educator.<br />

that <strong>IfE</strong> will be liaising with MEYR for<br />

their Teaching Practice placement.<br />

Participants employed outside<br />

the educational sector need to<br />

make the necessary vacation leave<br />

arrangements to ensure that they are<br />

available for the whole duration of the<br />

Teaching Practice period (on a fulltime<br />

basis).<br />

It is to be noted that although practice<br />

placements fall within different<br />

academic years, two (2) Teaching<br />

Practice placements might fall within<br />

one (1) calendar year. Depending on<br />

the programme followed, this could<br />

mean a total of 15 weeks’ practice<br />

placement in a year.<br />

TO CONSIDER IF ALREADY EMPLOYED<br />

IN THE EDUCATION SECTOR<br />

If already employed as LSEs/KGEs,<br />

course participants are to discuss<br />

school, course participants should<br />

check with their Head of School<br />

that the workload and timetable<br />

requirements, found in the checklist<br />

below, can be met. If these cannot be<br />

WORK INTEGRATED LEARNING<br />

Micro-Placements in Industry<br />

The <strong>IfE</strong> is offering micro-placements within the industry. The<br />

uniqueness of this concept is that the micro-placement modules<br />

are integrated within qualifications that are targeted towards initial<br />

teachers’ training and specialisation in education. We seek to build<br />

a stronger bridge between the education sector and the world of<br />

work through this initiative.<br />

MICRO-PLACEMENT<br />

VIDEO TESTIMONIALS<br />

The micro-placement modules are found in two programmes<br />

offered by the <strong>IfE</strong>:<br />

• Within the Bachelor of Education (Hons), the microplacement<br />

module carries six (6) ECTS, with 90 hours of<br />

hands-on training<br />

• As an MQF level 7 Award (10 ECTS), the programme is<br />

targeting educators already working in the field who are<br />

primarily seeking to further their continuous professional<br />

development by making their teaching practices more<br />

relevant in an ever-growing knowledge-based economy,<br />

through a work experience of 180 hours in an industry of their<br />

choice.<br />

at AMIS<br />

at Talbot & Bons<br />

at Rise Foundation<br />

Micro-placement usually take place during the summer months as follows:<br />

MICRO-PLACEMENT DURATION PERIOD<br />

Bachelor of Education (Hons) 90 hours of placement June – August<br />

Award in Micro-Placement in Industry 180 hours of placement June – August<br />

Through these modules, our course participants will gain additional skills through collaboration, networking,<br />

and critical thinking. This experience will provide an opportunity for our course participants to be engaged<br />

within the community in which they are learning, and therefore, they will eventually be able to incorporate<br />

practical examples within the classroom.<br />

These modules will allow course participants to experience the transition from a classroom-based scenario<br />

to working within an industry of their choice, an experience which they will refer to when preparing their<br />

students holistically for the future.


<strong>IfE</strong> PROSPECTUS <strong>2024</strong>-<strong>2025</strong><br />

TESTIMONIAL<br />

My teaching practice journey was profoundly enriching, apart from<br />

the inherent demands it entails! Opting for a more collaborative<br />

stance, I consciously stepped back from the traditional ‘knowit-all’<br />

teacher persona, fostering a learning environment where<br />

students felt empowered to share their knowledge and explore<br />

diverse solutions collectively. Initial discussions with my tutors<br />

proved invaluable, offering clarity on expectations and instilling<br />

confidence in my ability to refine my teaching methods through<br />

mature dialogue. This experience was transformative, prompting<br />

me to reflect on my ultimate objective: to equip every student<br />

for their future. The balance I struck between authority and<br />

approachability resonated with my students, creating a classroom<br />

atmosphere where they felt cherished, accepted and eager to<br />

engage fully. This journey not only redefined my identity as an<br />

educator but also underscored the importance of nurturing a<br />

supportive and inclusive learning environment.<br />

Claudine Portelli - Master of Education Primary Education<br />

With the micro-placement modules and contributors on board, we shall equip our course participants<br />

with soft skills such as adaptability, communication, work ethic, teamwork, flexibility, time management,<br />

and problem-solving skills. Therefore, we will be creating a spillover effect in transmitting 21st-century<br />

skills into the classrooms.<br />

When delivering these modules, the <strong>IfE</strong> encourages course participants to seek their placements to<br />

ensure that the experience meets their expectations and makes the learning processes more valuable.<br />

In supporting the micro-placement modules, the <strong>IfE</strong> has<br />

sought contributors who have committed to hosting our<br />

course participants on placements within their workplace. For<br />

RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING/ INTERNATIONAL APPLICANTS<br />

Recognition of Prior Learning<br />

Do you think you have covered similar content to that included in our programmes?<br />

Do you have experience through which you accumulated relevant knowledge<br />

applicable to the programme? Then this might be applicable to you.<br />

What is RPL?<br />

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a<br />

formalised process through which credit may<br />

be awarded for learning undertaken prior to the<br />

commencement of a course offered by the <strong>IfE</strong><br />

or learning completed together with, but not as<br />

part of the <strong>IfE</strong> course for which a prospective<br />

course participant has applied or is registered.<br />

What are the pros of RPL?<br />

RPL avoids duplication of previous learning,<br />

whilst ensuring that credit is only awarded<br />

when strong evidence is presented of<br />

successful achievement of the learning<br />

outcomes applicable to the level and content<br />

of the award for which the learner has applied<br />

or is registered.<br />

When is RPL considered?<br />

Usually, only qualifications and experience<br />

acquired within 10 years of the date of an RPL<br />

claim will be admissible as evidence to support<br />

a claim. Certain courses may apply a different<br />

time period to reflect professional and other<br />

regulatory requirements.<br />

When do you need to claim RPL?<br />

An RPL application for exemption can be made<br />

once a potential course participant has been<br />

accepted onto the programme.<br />

lecturers and staff at <strong>IfE</strong> are always<br />

accommodating and helpful when it comes to<br />

hand, the live sessions and the unit fora are a<br />

good opportunity for the course participants to<br />

Introductory Course for Supply Teachers (Award)<br />

Course Description<br />

This introductory course is intended for supply<br />

teachers already in employment without a<br />

teaching qualification. This programme aims<br />

to provide a foundation in the necessary<br />

knowledge, skills and competences to<br />

facilitate the learning process of their students<br />

and to effectively create a positive learning<br />

environment.<br />

Entry Requirements<br />

Applicants are to be engaged as Supply Teachers and currently teaching in<br />

a licensed school at compulsory education level.<br />

After the first week, it was evident how student-friendly<br />

the format is constructed. The lectures operate as twoway<br />

conversations between the lecturer and the students<br />

where each student was allowed to subtly feel comfortable<br />

to provide input. The theoretical knowledge that I gained<br />

via my studies improved the quality of my lesson-planning<br />

and further strengthened my resolve to teach; with the<br />

learning being healthier and more fitting to the learner. My<br />

confidence while teaching has increased, the engagement<br />

with students has been positively augmented and my<br />

fulfilment is greater than ever before.<br />

Inquiry-Based Learning in STEM Subjects<br />

Course Description<br />

Inquiry-Based Learning has its roots in<br />

constructivism, where the main ideology is<br />

that individuals must actively construct their<br />

own knowledge, ideally using a collaborative<br />

approach. Echoing constructivist theories,<br />

the National Minimum Curriculum considers<br />

learning as an active process and proposes<br />

student-centred inquiry-based approaches.<br />

This course aims to encourage teachers to<br />

use inquiry-based learning to help students<br />

become better learners by developing their<br />

critical thinking skills and preparing them to<br />

become lifelong learners.<br />

Entry Requirements<br />

Applicants interested in following this programme are to satisfy one of the<br />

minimum eligibility criteria:<br />

1.<br />

2.<br />

A Bachelor of Education (MQF Level 6 with a minimum of 180 ECTS);<br />

OR<br />

A Bachelor’s degree (MQF Level 6 with a minimum of 180 ECTS) in<br />

addition to a teaching qualification at MQF Level 6 or higher.<br />

It also aims to illustrate ways how teachers<br />

can engage students who do not function well<br />

in a more traditional learning environment,<br />

since inquiry-based learning can be adapted<br />

for all age groups and validates the knowledge<br />

and experiences of students, including those<br />

from disadvantaged groups.<br />

Outdoor Learning through Nature<br />

Course Description<br />

The child’s learning process follows a path<br />

forged by a natural curiosity that requires<br />

direct sensory experience rather than<br />

conceptual generalization. To be effective and<br />

engage children based on their developmental<br />

abilities and ways of learning, their subject<br />

learning outcomes need to be modelled on<br />

immersive and open-ended experiences rather<br />

than structured and scripted learning. Children<br />

have an innate tendency to explore and bond<br />

with nature. However, in our increasingly<br />

urban and technology-oriented lifestyles,<br />

children’s natural attraction to nature is not<br />

given opportunities to flourish. Providing the<br />

right experiences requires developmentally<br />

appropriate opportunities to learn about the<br />

natural world based on principles of child<br />

development and learning. In the context of<br />

education for sustainability, there is compelling<br />

evidence that children’s lack of exposure<br />

to nature has a cost to both their personal<br />

development and significantly, to their<br />

environmental behaviour as adults.<br />

Course Description<br />

This module critically investigates the<br />

underpinning pedagogical approaches to help<br />

educators make the shift to a flipped classroom.<br />

The flipped classroom approach, which is a<br />

type of blended learning, empowers learners<br />

to think critically about a particular area of<br />

study and engage in self-directed learning. This<br />

gives them the opportunity to engage with the<br />

content and further research to increase their<br />

knowledge before in-class activities. Course<br />

participants will systematically familiarise<br />

themselves with the strategies entailed to<br />

flip their classroom by availing themselves<br />

of different digital technologies and to help<br />

learners take ownership of their own learning,<br />

all whilst being actively involved in the learning<br />

process.<br />

Assessment for Learning and Continuous Assessment<br />

Course Description<br />

Assessment is fundamental in the educational<br />

process and it drives teaching and learning.<br />

Assessment for Learning (AfL) is integral to<br />

learning and it focuses on the process of<br />

learning. It is done when teachers gather<br />

evidence of learning during classroom practice.<br />

Successively, this evidence of learning is<br />

continuously used to adapt the teaching and<br />

gives suitable information as to where the<br />

learner stands in the learning process. Together<br />

with effective scaffolding, learners will realise<br />

the next step in this journey. Consequently,<br />

AfL strategies and continuous assessment<br />

will help students become self-reflective and<br />

independent learners.<br />

Effective Educational Leadership in<br />

Multicultural Schools​<br />

Course Description<br />

One of the greatest modern challenges<br />

in educational management is the need<br />

to combine multicultural education with<br />

leadership. For an educational system to be<br />

truly inclusive, it has to be rooted in values of<br />

equity and social justice, rather than a series<br />

of attempts at assimilative practices. Course<br />

participants will be given the opportunity to<br />

criticise subjective leadership practices when<br />

dealing with issues of multicultural diversity,<br />

race, ethnicity, religion and national origin. The<br />

course will affirm the need to effect positive<br />

change in schools by addressing the needs of<br />

all students irrespective of cultural origin.<br />

Entry Requirements<br />

Applicants interested in following this programme are to be in possession<br />

This module equips learners with knowledge,<br />

skills and competences to create effective<br />

school-family-community links. Educators and<br />

school management teams have to respect<br />

the social and emotional needs of students<br />

when engaging with communities and families<br />

within the educational structure. These three<br />

components (school, family, and community)<br />

are critical in shaping and influencing the<br />

student’s education journey. As professionals,<br />

educators need to acknowledge that parents,<br />

as well as other members of the community,<br />

have knowledge and experiences that can help<br />

and equip the child with further resources.<br />

Visualising Ethics through Hypertext<br />

Course Description<br />

Many a time, people feel that their authenticity<br />

in discursive expression is limited, in large part<br />

by the rules and conventions of formal writing.<br />

The unilinear form of writing is quintessentially<br />

hierarchical, recycling and regenerating the<br />

mentality of meritocracy.<br />

Entry Requirements<br />

Applicants interested in following this programme are to be in possession<br />

of an MQF Level 6 qualification.<br />

This programme studies the effects of an<br />

innovative software developed specifically<br />

to augment discursive expressive capacities.<br />

Digitalising discursive expression in this<br />

manner encourages users to rethink and<br />

describe current events without the hindrance,<br />

rather than help, of the chronological format of<br />

unilinear writing.<br />

Thus, the programme will cover both the<br />

theoretical part as well as the practical part.<br />

The software is based on the philosophical<br />

hermeneutics as developed from the<br />

Heideggerian and Gadamerian understanding<br />

of interpretation. After presenting these<br />

theoretical underpinnings, the programme will<br />

shift to practical sessions whereby course<br />

participants will be introduced to the software.<br />

Encounters with Diversity in Education<br />

Course Description<br />

A society which is constantly changing requires<br />

educators to be conscious of the implications<br />

of these changes to the education system and<br />

to their practices. While diversity has always<br />

been present in schools, it has never been<br />

so pronounced and so challenging. One main<br />

reason is the increase of migrant students.<br />

Therefore, this course first explores what<br />

motivates or constrains people to migrate<br />

as well as the links between migration and<br />

sustainable development. This leads to the<br />

impact migration has on the host society,<br />

particularly on schools. This course then<br />

sequentially moves on to the exploration of a<br />

multicultural society and the theoretical and<br />

practical ways in which it can be addressed.<br />

Exclusion, assimilation, accommodation,<br />

integration, and politics of difference as<br />

multiculturalism are explored.<br />

Entry Requirements<br />

Applicants interested in following this programme are to satisfy one of the<br />

minimum eligibility criteria:<br />

1.<br />

2.<br />

An MQF Level 6 qualification; OR<br />

2. An MQF Level 5 qualification (minimum 60 ECTS) together with three<br />

(3) years relevant work experience.<br />

The normalised dominant values, social norms<br />

and practices tend to stigmatise and devalue<br />

those who do not fall within the boundaries of<br />

the hegemonic group. Thus, this course explores<br />

privilege, racism, stereotypes and prejudice,<br />

Islamophobia and hate speech both from a<br />

personal stance, which requires participants<br />

to reflect on their views and behaviour, as well<br />

as from an educational perspective.<br />

Creative Approaches towards Addressing<br />

Controversial issues in STEM<br />

Course Description<br />

This module offers course participants the<br />

possibility to discuss how uncertainty can be<br />

used to spark curiosity and better prepare<br />

learners for the real world, where answers<br />

are seldom clear-cut or permanent. Whether<br />

discovering black holes, the concept of<br />

climate change or other controversial topics,<br />

learners and employees should be comfortable<br />

challenging the received knowledge. If<br />

learners, citizens or employees can be made<br />

to feel comfortable with uncertainty and<br />

they are proactive in challenging facts, then<br />

they are more likely to be curious, creative<br />

and innovative in their thinking and doing.<br />

This module will use current STEM-related<br />

international news as the basis for discussion.<br />

Entry Requirements<br />

Applicants interested in following this programme are to be in possession<br />
