Curriculum, Pedagogy and Assessment 6: Additional teaching subject for senior secondary

In this course, students deepen their understanding of curriculum, pedagogy and assessment and develop pedagogical content knowledge for secondary teaching at senior secondary level. Students examine curriculum and assessment frameworks and materials, including the New Zealand Curriculum (NZC) and Vocational Education Pathways including Skills Standards, contemporary pedagogical developments and associated practice challenges within the context of a specialist 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 students' specialist senior secondary subjects.
