Textiles and Food
I want to teach textiles and food at secondary level, can anyone suggest how i do this or does it mean 2 seperate degrees?
Thanks
kerry
Thanks

well, at the lower levels you usually only have to go through with one degree.
you can look at unis homepages, there they write about what each program contains. my friend went to an american uni, and there there was this basic course that everyone had to do then if you wanted to you could read other courses that targeted specific areas, maybe thats what you have to do as well.

You can do Design and Technology with QTS Secondary Teaching as an undergraduate degree. I know for a fact that Goldsmiths College (www.goldsmiths.ac.uk) offers this programme and it is considered to be very very good.
Do a UCAS search on www.ucas.com and search for Design and Technology and click the box that says "qualifies teacher status"

Hi ya kerry.
I have a place on PGCE next year for food and textiles. I have a home economics degree and a level, but have NEVER studies textiles in depth. Its a very specialised PGCE and only a few offer it.
I dont know if you have applied for your undergrad degree yet. As far as im aware there is no food/textiles BEd in the country so you will have to do a postgrad route.
Id love to know your background. Ive yet to come across someone under age of 25 who wants to be a food teacher. Send us a private message if you want! x

Like I said before, there is the BA (Hons) Education with Design and Technology: Secondary Age Range
(with Qualified Teacher Status) at Goldsmiths College, University of London.
However, it does not so much focus on food.
Roehampton University offers the D&T Specialism for their BA(Hons) Primary Education with QTS. You can check their programme options there.
I also know that the University of Greenwich offers a BA(Hons) Primary Education with QTS with a D&T specialism. I know that textiles is a big part of that. I went to interviews at Greenwich and Roehampton for those reasons.
At Bath Spa University you can da a BA/BSc Education Specialised (Combined Honours with Education and a second subject). You can do Education and Food Studies. It is a 4 year programme, consisting of a 3 yr combined honours undergraduate degree and a PGCE in the 4th year.
Same for textile by the way. You could do a combined Education/Textile degree, followed by a PGCE.
Most D&T teachers teach Food and Textiles, so you could always go that route. I know it includes a bit more than Food and Textiles, but it will make you more employable as well.
A lot more results come up for D&T and QTS
If you already have an undergraduate degree or want to go the PGCE route, then check GTTR for courses. You can then see what undergraduate degrees the ITT providers prefer by checking their websites.
For example, these are courses for secondary PGCE (Home Economics):
Home Economics
A20 - University of Aberdeen
Home Economics
L51 - Liverpool John Moores University
Food/Textile Technology
S21 - Sheffield Hallam University
Food Technology
S78 - University of Strathclyde
Home Economics
Home Economics Gaelic medium
Again, more results for Design and Technology, but they offer more specialisation, for example:
M40 - Manchester Metropolitan University
Design and Technology

none of those u/grad degrees focuses on food (not sure about textiles!) If I was you I would do an u/grad and then a pgce. It makes you much more employable if you were to ever decide teaching isnt for you.
Your joy is my low: are you applying for D&T as well? whats you specialism?

No I am not. I applied last year and had offers for BA(Hons) Primary Education with D&T. But as it is, I decided not to go for the QTS undergrad degree. I already have a DipHE in Primary Education...
Oh right! So your a primary person- you dont see many prmary dt specialists which is a same cause i dont think dt in general gets a high enough profile in primary schools. Dont start me on the total lack of food teahing in primary!
