Description: | |||
This unit is built on the premise that effective teachers are active participants in learning communities and will implement inquiry skills for reflection and set goals for future professional learning.
Students will investigate child development, growth and learning for children aged six to eight and strategies to motivate and involve young children in their learning. They examine appropriate assessment, evaluation and reporting strategies for a diverse range of children in junior primary classrooms. Students will use curriculum documents and collated evaluation data for teaching and learning over an extended period. Students will apply knowledge of theory and research, reflect upon their own cultural competence and develop skills required to prepare responsive and inclusive curricula. This unit comprises an on-campus component and 4 weeks of professional learning in a Junior Primary Classroom.
This is a Designated Unit involving a Professional Practice placement in a school/centre where students gain essential practical experience of school life. The placement provides a critical opportunity to connect theory with practice and develop the fundamental knowledge, dispositions, understandings and competencies of a beginning teacher under the guidance of experienced professionals.
