Course description
How you will study
The learning and teaching process builds on your current practice that will be discussed and reflected upon to share learning across diverse domains and maximise personal development. The course draws extensively on models of critical reflection as a means of interrogating and theorising professional practice. This may take the form of learning through inquiry into individual practice, research, reflection, collaborative learning, and modelling of student experience as a “vehicle” for reflection. There will be opportunities for peer and tutor observations. Blended learning tasks will be employed to provide you with diverse learning experiences. Teaching on the course will be in the form of mentoring, coaching and facilitation through reflective practice and research projects with structured independent learning.
There will be:
- Tutor, peer or group observations on a fortnight basis;
- Individual or joint hands-on tasks or inquiry projects in the classroom;
- Micro teaching; and
- Co-teaching.
