Course Description

Students will broaden their knowledge of educational systems, professional responsibilities and the implications for teaching and learning in the 21st century. Professional skills of communication, evaluation, critical enquiry and reflection will be further developed within a range of learning contexts. Using collaborative enquiry, students will be encouraged to challenge personally held assumptions and values about effective learning and teaching.

Working in communities of enquiry, students will study aspects of curriculum in depth, making connections to principles of assessment for learning, and theories of involvement and engagement, as indicators of quality learning and teaching. In collaboration with field professionals students will draw on their expanding repertoire of effective learning and teaching strategies and evaluate their application of these in practice.
