The opportunity to pursue studies at Level 8, by producing a professional record, is limited for teachers in the UK. Completing a Practitioner Doctorate makes one aware of the importance of this level of study if teachers are to move away from traditional models of pedagogy. These old models focus on delivering facts and testing them to see if these have been learnt. Now that facts can be gained at the press of a button and Artificial Intelligence is taking over routine procedures, we need to skill students to achieve better levels of communication and thinking in order to create solutions to complex world problems. A Practitioner Doctorate widens and deepens knowledge and gives the chance to apply this in workplaces. The benefits to oneself and others are life-changing and enable positive changes to be made for learning and teaching.
