This unit (ECP3103) incorporates professional experience in Secondary schools, which will form part of the assessment. This unit provides pre-service teachers (PSTs) with a comprehensive knowledge of curriculum and pedagogy in their specialised discipline areas for teaching year 11 and 12 students. PSTs will focus on engaging their peers in a student-centred learning environment in order to practice innovative and engaging pedagogies for senior secondary students. PSTs will develop their capacity to plan lesson sequences at the senior level, to differentiate learning and to determine student's knowledge using formative and summative assessment. This content will provide graduates with the skills and capacities to participate as competent and reflective members of the teaching profession.
