English Literacy and Mathematics Education 2

Description

This course continues to focus on the development of literacy and numeracy skills with an emphasis on more specific assessment (including nationally developed monitoring tools), evaluation and planning. Topics such as meeting the needs of diverse learners, engaging students with texts, critical literacies, effective mathematical pedagogies and the New Zealand Number Framework will be explored in greater depth. Following professional experiences in schools, students will be encouraged to reflect on their own classroom practice and that of others. The course will complement learning in other courses in the Graduate Diploma of Teaching and Learning (Primary), including Professional Practice.
