Description

This course builds upon TEPI413 Professional Learning and Inquiry 1 and TEPP413 Professional Practice 1. It provides an opportunity for students to deepen understandings of professional and pedagogical aspects of teaching. Students will synthesise research-informed and experience-based knowledge in critical examination of their own and others' professional and pedagogical practices. Students will engage critically with contemporary educational issues and practice challenges including pedagogies for diverse learners and learning environments, and digital leadership. There is an emphasis on becoming an inquiring and critically reflective teacher, using 'teaching as inquiry' and evidence-based approaches to enhance learning. The course will prepare students for the associated Professional Practice course and also complement learning in other courses in the Postgraduate Diploma of Teaching and Learning.
