The importance of understanding diversity in post-graduate teacher training

In the richly diverse landscape of East London, Mulberry College of Teaching is committed to providing inclusive post-graduate teacher training; raising young people’s aspirations and engagement. Our transformative post-graduate teacher training equips trainees with academic expertise and a deep understanding of the cultural dynamics that shape our classrooms.

Inclusion and diversity

At Mulberry College of Teaching, inclusion and diversity is an integral part of our Initial Teacher Training (ITT) programme. Designed to support post-graduate trainee teachers to fully appreciate our students’ diverse experiences, trainees recognise that each learner brings a unique perspective to the classroom. By understanding these nuances, our trainees are better prepared to create inclusive learning environments that build  respect, empathy, and understanding among students.

“I am very grateful for having started my teacher training at Mulberry. The English department, in particular, have been so welcoming and supportive in my transition to teaching. There is no teaching day that is ever the same, which I think is amazing. Every day comes with new experiences, new memories and further professional development.” Ameera – trainee teacher

Training teachers for a diverse career

Our ITT curriculum incorporates extensive, supportive training; from interactive workshops to immersive placements in local schools. Mulberry College of Teaching’s post-graduate trainee teachers experience firsthand the challenges and rewards of teaching in one of London’s most diverse boroughs.

Building bridges through education

The impact of this approach is profound. Our post-graduate trainee teachers have the opportunity to act as bridge-builders, using education as a tool to connect cultures and communities. This enhances student learning, engagement and aspirations;  strengthening community ties and helping young people see how they can positively impact the world.

The demand for teachers with experience in diverse communities has never been higher. Mulberry College of Teaching’s post-graduate trainee teachers will be equipped to teach anywhere in the world; possessing first-hand experience of the global influences that affect local education settings.
