LITERACY AND NUMERACY FOR PROFESSIONAL EDUCATORS
EDU4LNP
2014
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
In this subject, students explore the links between their own knowledge, experience and skills of numeracy and literacy and those required of a teaching professional. Under the guidance of a VET in VCE or VCAL mentor in a Victorian school or alternative educational setting, students spend five days (or equivalent) with their site-based mentor. Following a period of fieldwork students submit a folio which includes a strategic plan for their own personal learning and professional development, and relevant teaching materials and resources. Students also participate in self-paced, on-line activities.
