EDU3SNL
2020
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
Pre-service teachers explore the notion that every child, regardless of their challenges, has the ability to learn and that every learner has the opportunity to be successful in learning. PSTs develop an understanding of educational institutions' responsibilities for positively building on student diversity. PSTs become familiar with the varied resources that students bring with them and the specific challenges that different individuals and groups confront in educational settings. Adaptive teaching and learning strategies are explored to maximize the educational experience and achievements of a range of diverse learners including: students with learning difficulties and disabilities; high performing and under-achieving students and students with rich multilingual, limited literacy, diverse cultural and socio-economic backgrounds. PSTs learn how to engage with the school community, including parents, to identify and respond to the needs of all students. PSTs undertake 20 days of practicum in an educational setting as part of this subject, this is a hurdle requirement.
