This course and final teaching practice experience provides opportunities for Primary pre-service teachers to refine their learning and reflection on teaching and demonstrate professional skills, knowledge and dispositions. Mana ako is a way of describing how, through a process of exploration on teaching practice, pre-service teachers learn how to teach. During this process of self-discovery and understanding of their own developing teacher identity, pre-service teachers develop skills of collaboration, problem-solving, perseverance, curiosity and confidence. During this practice experience, there is a particular focus on the use of inquiry to enhance professional capability about teaching and assessment practices. Pre-service teachers will be expected to understand and respond to learners, establish a learning-focused culture, foster professional relationships, enact principles relating to Te Tiriti o Waitangi, and engage in professional learning. The course and teaching practice experience is closely linked to other courses in the BTchLn programme.
On the successful completion of this course, students will be able to:1. Demonstrate teaching practices consistent with the values, knowledges, skills and dispositions from relevant policy and legislation 2. Critically evaluate teaching practices that reflect the mana of Te Tiriti o Waitangi, including the application of te reo Māori me ōna tikanga and mātauranga Māori.3. Apply and evaluate sustained teaching practices that align with each of the Standards for the Teaching Profession. 4. Use a process of inquiry to enhance professional capability about teaching and assessment practices in mathematics and literacy
