Curriculum, Pedagogy and Assessment 5: Additional teaching subject for senior secondary

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.
