This subject prepares students for teaching in, and for contributing to the continual reconstruction of teaching in secondary schools. Students will engage in activities which will develop their abilities to work collaboratively as members of teams, to develop their own personal practical theories for enhancing learning and life outcomes for all learners. Particular attention will be given to varying pedagogic practices, unit planning, assessment and effective establishment and management of learning environments, with a commitment to justice, care and parent and community participation. Students will critically examine assumptions, key features and legal and ethical implications of a range of policies and approaches to research and practices connected to teaching the diversity of compulsory and post-compulsory students in secondary schooling.
