This professional development subject uses blended, simulated and scenario-based learning approaches to introduce students to key concepts of effective learning and teaching and how these might be applied in a variety of Early Childhood (focusing on Prep to year 3, in conjunction with ED2590 which focuses on birth to 5 years), Primary and Secondary educational settings including Indigenous and rural/regional. Through these approaches, students come to learn the value of a range of theoretical frameworks relating to learning, curriculum, pedagogy and classroom management. The subject is structured around the six themes of: Learning about learners; Planning for learning; Pedagogy; Safe and supportive learning environments; Reflecting on teachers' work; and Teacher well-being. These themes are further developed in subsequent professional development subjects in the course.
