Description

This course provides pre-service teachers with a final compulsory opportunity to extend their learning about the theory, and pedagogy of literacy and mathematics education in the New Zealand primary school context. The course extends previous knowledge about planning, teaching and evaluating programmes for the literacy and mathematics classroom. The English and Mathematics and Statistics learning areas of the New Zealand Curriculum (2007) are studied in congruence with available resources, assessment tools and planning formats to meet the needs of all diverse learners in the New Zealand primary school setting. The course will complement learning in other courses in the Bachelor of Teaching and Learning, including Professional Practice.

Learning Outcomes

On the successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:
1. Critically examine the characteristics of an effective teacher of literacy and mathematics for all learners
2. Identify and examine effective strategies to support and engage priority learners in literacy and mathematics
3. Identify and explore how effective pedagogical practices in literacy and mathematics meet the professional obligations of the Treaty of Waitangi (partnerships, participation and active protection)
4. Demonstrate familiarity with assessment practices used by teachers in literacy and mathematics
5. Identify and explain how to meet the literacy needs of children who have dyslexia.
6. Critically examine the phonological intervention strategies, particularly for low progress readers and writers
7. Demonstrate and articulate knowledge and skills in the use of a range of digital technologies that engage students and advance their learning in literacy and mathematics
8. Identify critical factors that enhance home-school partnerships in the literacy and mathematics classroom.
