EDU4CAA

2021

Credit points: 15

Subject outline

In this unit pre-service teachers will develop introductory knowledge of curriculum theory and of social and political influences on the development of curriculum frameworks used in schools in Australia. Pre-service teachers will use the Australian and Victorian Curriculum frameworks as the basis for understanding the broad aims for designing curriculum and assessment programs. Pre-service teachers will use formal and informal data to diagnose and inform the effective teaching that underpins planning for teaching and learning. They will examine measurement of learning to recognise and develop teacher impact in professional experience. Theoretical frameworks for curriculum design and selection of assessment to support effective learning and planned teaching sequences will be implemented and supported by personal and professional goal setting to maximise student learning. The first stages of effective reporting on academic performance are explored. Pre-service teachers will undertake 15 days of professional experience.
