Course description
This course is part of a suite of Literacy and English courses in the Master of Teaching (Primary) degree. Three interrelated aspects of the teaching profession provide a developmental framework for the courses: knowing yourself as a Literacy/English teacher; knowing your students; and knowing the disciplinary content of the subject English as well as the place of literacy teaching and learning within other curriculum areas. In this course, students will develop a repertoire of teaching strategies and practices related to the teaching of writing and children¿s literature; identify a range of assessment techniques and strategies suitable for diverse contexts; and build their knowledge of key concepts related to literacy and the discipline of English.
For preservice teachers enrolled in the `standard¿ Master of Teaching (Primary) Program, this course provides an introduction to school life through a 5-day (one week) block of professional experience and these preservice teachers are required to have a valid Blue Card for the Blue Card for the duration of the placement.
For preservice teachers enrolled in the `Turn to Teaching¿ Internship Program, a professional experience placement is not part of this course.
