If you feel you need more knowledge and support to improve what you do but aren’t yet ready to commit to an undergraduate course, why not take a look at our free courses and teaching resources on OpenLearn and OpenLearn Cymru?
Our courses are open to everyone so you can complete them free of charge and whenever is convenient for you. There are dozens of Education, Childhood, Youth and Sport courses and teaching resources that you can learn from, covering issues such as teaching online, child development, mental health and wellbeing and many more specific subject areas. They’ll open you up to big ideas about children and teaching, and support teachers in providing engaging lessons and a positive learning environment. And they’ll give you a taste of what OU learning is like, so you can decide if an undergraduate or postgraduate course is for you.
You’ll get a free statement of participation on completion, so you can show your employer, potential employer, colleagues and yourself that you are engaged in your work, developing your career and deepening your knowledge to improve children’s lives.
