Attendance

You are enrolled in a professional programme. As you enter a profession you also commit to a set of professional and ethical obligations. On completion of your programme the Te Kaupeka Ako | Faculty of Education is required to attest to the Teaching Council of Aotearoa New Zealand your fitness to be a teacher. Fitness to teach is evidenced by:

• Professional behaviour
• Commitment to being fully prepared for professional experience
• Engagement with colleagues
• Reliability and trustworthiness

A student seeking credit in TECE365 must attend such lectures, workshops and/or tutorials and perform satisfactorily such oral, practical, written and other requirements specified by the course coordinator. “A student seeking course credit must engage satisfactorily in all required course-related activity, work and assessment specified in the course outlines” (University of Canterbury Calendar, 2020, p.35).

Your classes are structured to prepare you for your professional experiences in early childhood centres and kindergartens. These classes are an important and integral part of preparing you for this professional experience and your future teaching profession. Students with less than 80% attendance are at-risk of not meeting the criteria for seeking credit in the course. The course coordinator may require evidence that they have actively engaged with the content and activities of the missed sessions.


Students are responsible for obtaining relevant lecture/course information via Learn. This will mean regular engagement with forums and course materials on the Learn site. Participation will enhance your understanding of issues and allow for discussion and clarification of complex issues. Online activity will ensure all students can discuss, debate and reflect. Insufficient participation in the course will jeopardise students passing the course

Evaluation

Teaching and the course will be assessed through the regular use of UCTL evaluative instruments.

Grade moderation

Work is assessed and moderated by course lecturers and moderated by other senior academics in literacy.

Late submission of work

All assignments must be submitted on or before the due date.  Work handed in after the due date with no extension granted is considered late and will normally not be marked.  However, if the course coordinator is notified within 24 hours of the due date and there is a genuine issue, for which evidence must be given (e.g. a medical certificate or a letter from a counsellor), it may be considered but the assignment grade is usually restricted to a minimum passing grade (C-) for that assessment.

Other specific requirements

All work submitted in this course would be completed using APA format and a high standard of academic writing is expected.

Conduct as an educational professional is expected. Students are advised to familiarise themselves with learning online including UC Learn before the course starts.

Requests for extensions

Extensions are reserved for exceptional circumstances only (e.g., illness, accident, bereavement or critical personal circumstances) and are not granted automatically.  The course coordinator must be contacted by email at least two days before the due date, and the application must be supported by relevant evidence (e.g. medical certificate, letter from a counselor).  An extension will normally be for no more than one week and the date of the extension will be provided to the student in writing.  The course coordinator may also request a copy of work completed up to the time of the extension request in order to determine if an extension may be granted.

Extensions will not be granted because of pressure of University study, e.g. several pieces of work being due around the same time.   Students are encouraged to plan their work in a realistic manner and in advance so that they can meet their assessment deadlines. The procedure for extensions is fully outlined in the Te Kaupeka Ako | Faculty of Education Assessment Guidelines..

Resubmissions

There will be no re-submissions in this course

Special Considerations

Where for reasons beyond their control, students are prevented from completing an assessment or suffer significant impairment, they may apply for what is known as “special consideration”. University of Canterbury Special Consideration provisions may apply to impaired performance, non-completion of assessment items, and to late discontinuation (withdrawal) from a course.

A detailed description of special consideration and materials to support the applications process are available at: Special Considerations Process.  


Generally speaking, applications for special considerations should be lodged within five working days of the due date of that assessment item. For more details on this, please refer to the Special Considerations Regulations.



This information replaces any previous references to special consideration, Aegrotat or Backdated (Late) Withdrawal in the Course Information System, Learn or Course Outlines. If you are unclear about the implications or process please discuss with your Course Coordinator or contact the Student Advice team for assistance.

Course Website

As well as attending online classes, it is essential that all students regularly access the course Learn site. All course information such as the course wataka, notices, assessment information, required and recommended readings, audio recordings of some lectures, and other teaching resources etc. will be available on this site

Aggregation of Assignment Scores

Students must hand in both assignments in order to pass the course. The course assignment scores will be aggregated

Where to submit and collect work

Students will be expected to submit their assessments via the online assessment system in the Learn class site by 5.00pm on or before the due date.

SUBMITTING ASSIGNMENTS FOR MARKING VIA LEARN SITE:
It is the responsibility of the students to check their Internet access and ability to submit their work via the online system.  Any technical difficulties should be notified well in advance of the due date so that assistance can be provided or alternative arrangements can be negotiated.

For ICT help call our free call number 0508 UC IT HELP (0508 824 843) or on 03 369 5000.  Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm (excluding public and university holidays).
