Through this unit, Pre-service Teachers will develop, reflect upon and apply their knowledge about Literacy and Numeracy teaching and learning. This unit is available to students enrolled in both the on-campus and residency modes of delivery.

The Literacy component of the unit looks at the relationship between assessment, planning, implementation, evaluation and reflection in the planning process.  Children's individual language differences and methods of monitoring these facets are examined.  Drama processes are explored as vehicles for language development.

The Numeracy component of the unit examines the cycle of assessment, planning, implementation, evaluation and reflection in the process of planning mathematics learning.  Consideration will be given to developing children's numeracy skills through an investigative approach to spatial, measurement and chance and data concepts.  Problem solving will be considered in general terms.
