Description: | |||
This unit introduces students to the philosophy and practices of middle schooling, from the perspective of the young adolescent learner, the school and the teacher. Middle schooling is based on an educational philosophy that promotes authentic learning through constructivist teaching, collaborative learning and the development of schools with open, inclusive communities. In the unit, students will learn how schools and teachers can apply these principles in order to meet the young adolescent learner’s needs for engagement, independence, identity, and belonging. Students will also consider cultural, organisational, professional and industrial factors that may enhance or impede the success of middle schooling. | |||
