Description

This course is for students who wish to develop understanding of teaching and learning in relation to an additional senior secondary teaching subject. Students gain understanding of curriculum, pedagogy and assessment and they develop pedagogical content knowledge for secondary teaching in relation to their additional senior secondary subject. They critically examine curriculum and assessment frameworks and materials, including the New Zealand Curriculum (NZC) and New Zealand Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA), contemporary pedagogical developments and associated practice challenges within the context of their additional senior secondary subject. There is a particular focus on knowledge foundations, assessment practices, culturally responsive and sustaining pedagogies that support learning for all, relevant subject-specific literacies and design for learning within subject context.

Learning Outcomes

On the successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
1. Analyse an NCEA achievement standard for a senior subject, in relation to the focus for assessment and the relationships between assessment, curriculum and learning.
2. Draw implications for practice from the analysis of an NCEA achievement standard, with particular regard to assessment for Māori and diverse learners in a senior secondary subject.
3. Demonstrate practice skills in the design of a unit or programme of learning in a senior secondary teaching subject.
4. Integrate understanding of curriculum, pedagogy (culturally responsive and sustaining pedagogy), assessment and learning in the design of a unit or programme of learning in a senior secondary subject.
5. Reflect on teacher decision-making in relation to design of a unit or programme of learning, with consideration of Māori and diverse learners and their engagement with curriculum, national assessment structures and the context for learning in a senior secondary subject.
6. Demonstrate critical understanding of practice-related challenges, through engagement with pedagogical and curriculum theory and research, critical analysis and reflection, in relation to a senior secondary subject.
