Description

This course develops knowledge about appropriate strategies and frameworks for planning and implementing te reo Maori, English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), and Social Studies programmes, using communicative and treaty-based approaches. It is designed to give initial teacher education students the opportunity to extend their professional knowledge and practice by examining and applying relevant literature, policy and pedagogy, and to support students’ responsibilities as teachers for the promotion and protection of te reo me ona tikanga a iwi (Maori language/s and culture/s) in New Zealand schools.

Learning Outcomes

On the successful completion of this course students will be able to:
• Demonstrate a negotiated level of proficiency appropriate to a beginning teacher by pronouncing and using Te Reo Māori and Reo-ā-iwi (i.e. dialects).
• Apply knowledge of the NZC document to demonstrate how aspects of te Reo Māori and Social Sciences can be taught through the diverse contexts of Māori culture(s).
• Demonstrate an ability to integrate communicative approaches to teaching Te Reo Māori and ESOL in authentic social inquiry settings, in ways that are informed by research and academic literature.
• Demonstrate an understanding of how to build and sustain relationships with a school’s Māori community, relevant government agencies and NGOs who can support effective school/Māori learning community partnerships.    
• Draw upon international literature to display an awareness of some core characteristics and indicators of a culturally responsive curriculum design process and of culturally responsive pedagogies.
• Display how the articles of the Treaty of Waitangi and relevant education legislation/guidelines can/should inform curriculum planning, delivery, assessment and evaluation procedures.
• Identify and critically examine the real versus perceived needs of local Māori communities that should inform teaching practice and school responses to the NZC.
• Identify and analyse issues relating to the impact of culture(s) on learning.
• Analyse a range of ways in which schools support English and/or bilingual development for children and families from diverse language and cultural backgrounds.
• Articulate and justify specific teaching strategies for children from diverse language and cultural backgrounds

Attendance

For on-campus students, attendance is required at all scheduled lectures and workshops in order to meet the learning outcomes of the course. On-campus students must notify lecturers prior to any absence without an explanation (either by phone or email). Extended absences must be accompanied by a medical certificate or similar (as for aegrotat provisions). Unexplained absences will result in an increment grade point penalty, e.g. an A+ grade would become an A.

FlO students must attend all residential school sessions for this course. This is a compulsory component of the course. This includes on-campus students enrolled in the FLO option for this course.

FLO students must participate in all Learn forums and complete all Learn tasks when these are labelled as compulsory for FLO students.

FLO students are also required to watch the videos provided of the on-campus lectures and workshops. Audio files of the lectures and workshops are provided for those students who cannot access the videos due to broadband issues.

Evaluation

Teaching and courses will be evaluated through use of current UC evaluative surveys. In addition, students are encouraged to provide ongoing formative evaluation to course lecturers.

Grade moderation

The course will be internally moderated in accordance with the processes adopted by the College of Education. An examiners’ meeting will be held at the end of the course to determine the final grades and to ensure fairness and consistency.

Late submission of work

Late work will not be accepted for marking.

Other specific requirements

This is a web-supported course. Many of the course materials, videos of lectures, tasks and communications are provided via the course Learn site. Students need to have ready access to a computer and will be required to access the TECP301 Learn site weekly for the duration of the course.
Students must refer to the relevant sections of the TECP301 Learn site for full instructions regarding requirements for each assignment.
Assignments must be word processed in either Times New Roman, Arial or Helvetica font with 1.5 line spacing.
Tertiary literacy standards are required for an assignment to receive a passing mark.
Macrons must be used where appropriate when spelling Māori words.
Fully completed assignment cover sheets must be submitted with each assignment.
Non-standard enrolments: If you are a non-standard enrolment you must make contact with your lecturer within the first two weeks of the semester. Do not assume your assessment dates will be different as this could result in you not passing the course. It is essential that you check with your lecturer. You must also notify your lecturer if you intend to graduate at mid-year.

Requests for extensions

Extensions will only be granted in exceptional circumstances (e.g. accident, bereavement, tangi, or critical personal circumstances), and are not granted automatically. The course lecturer concerned must be contacted by email a minimum of two days before the due date, and the application must be supported by relevant evidence (e.g. medical certificate, letter from counsellor). Extensions will not be granted because of pressure of university study, e.g. several pieces of work being due around the same time. The procedure for extensions is fully outlined in the College of Education Assessment Guidelines (http://www/education.canterbury.ac.nz/documents/assessment_guidelines_for_students_09).

Resubmissions

Students are not permitted to resubmit marked work for the Social Studies or ESOL components of this course.
One resubmit opportunity is permitted for the te reo Māori assignment. The maximum mark for a resubmitted te reo Māori assignment will be 50%.

Where to submit and collect work

All assignments will be submitted and returned via the TECP301 Learn site. Some assignments will require that students scan their work and submit it as a pdf document, so students must ensure they are able to do this well in advance of the assignment due dates. Where assignments need to be uploaded to a Learn drop-box, full instructions will be given on the Learn site.
