This will support the development of positive, inclusive, learning-focussed teaching in diverse school settings. Students will engage with various learning areas through practical and collaborative experiences.

The course builds upon AKOP131 ‘Exploring the Curriculum’ and prepares students for the associated Professional Practice.
