LEARNING DIFFERENCES AND PEDAGOGY
EDU5LDP
2020
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
In this subject pre-service teachers develop an understanding of teachers' and educational institutions' responsibilities for positively building on student diversity and working collaboratively with families, carers and other agencies to achieve optimal learning conditions for students with diverse needs. The specific challenges that different individuals and groups confront in educational settings are explored. Pre-service teachers will consider innovative ways of maximising the educational experience and achievements of gifted students; under-performing students; students with learning difficulties and disabilities; as well as students with rich multilingual, limited literacy, diverse cultural and socio-economic backgrounds. Particular areas of high incidence difference, such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, are addressed. School and teacher responsiveness to difference and diversity is analysed, including adaptive pedagogies, individualised learning plans and approaches to differentiating the curriculum.
