What does a Co-op Academies Teaching Internship look like?

A structured programme has been designed to introduce interns to the education profession and key areas of the ITT Core Content Framework. Over the 3 weeks, interns will receive opportunities to immerse themselves within a secondary school context, give them an understanding of the roles and responsibilities of a teacher, provide them with the opportunity to work with and teach students and guidance on applying for initial teacher training.

All interns will benefit from an evidence-informed package of professional development, delivered by outstanding practitioners and Specialist Leaders of Education SLEs. Areas covered will include:

• Behaviour, relationships and trust

• The elements of a successful lesson

• How pupils learn

• Adaptive teaching to meet all needs

• The pastoral role of a teacher and safeguarding

• Subject and curriculum knowledge

The internship aims to ensure all interns begin to understand what constitutes effective teaching and learning, how to address common misconceptions within their subject, how to plan and deliver a lesson and understanding a multitude of effective teaching strategies and methods.

To help our interns succeed, all will work with a subject mentor who will support them with:

• How to observe lessons and work as a Teaching Assistant

• How to plan a successful lesson

• How to develop relationships with our students

• hHow to lead small group intervention

To be considered for this internship, interns must be a Science, Design & Technology, Maths, Computing or Languages undergraduate currently attending university in their second or final year of study. All interns must be able to commit to the full internship. The internship is best suited to those who have an interest in teaching as a career. Interns are required to complete a short application and will be invited to an interview which includes:

• Preparation of a short task regarding your chosen subject

• A formal interview with our Teaching Internship team

Safeguarding and recruitment checks will be completed for all successful applicants.

Teaching Interns are expected to commit to the entire three-week placement with dates fixed as Monday 22nd June - Friday 10th July 2026.
