Last modified: 25 Mar 2016 11:34


Course Overview

This course is designed to allow student primary teachers to develop professional knowledge and understanding within a core curricular area. Students choose to study one discrete curricular area from a choice of three: Health and Wellbeing, Literacy and English, Numeracy and Mathematics.  All three options are interactive and enquiry-based and the acquisition of current, evidence-based professional knowledge will be complemented by exploration of the core pedagogies that support the learning and teaching process.
