Subject knowledge self-assessment audit
The importance of subject knowledge was discussed with you at interview. We hope that you will have already been taking the opportunity to work on any recommendations made at interview. While subject knowledge development is a career-long process, the more preparation you have done prior to the course the easier your workload will be in the autumn term.
To support you in this process we require you to complete a subject knowledge audit. Please follow the instructions and read the suggestions for further development. Please complete the audit and bring with you on the first day of the course.
