Workshop reviews of subject content, examples of assessment and lesson planning. The sessions will respond to the emerging needs of the Associate Teachers in their preparation of material for teaching. This will involve examining appropriate approaches to particular topics, taking into account both contemporary thinking within the discipline, and the constraints of school syllabuses. You will also make use of standard textbooks and key learning resources to refine your subject understanding.

You will apply the understanding you gain through your reading and the West Midlands Consortium sessions to your lesson planning and assessment strategies. You will have opportunities to discuss with your tutor specific issues concerning the nature and significance of various aspects of ICT.

A further 123 hours of independent study will require you to take responsibility for relating the issues addressed in this module to your personal experience and building up evidence in your portfolio. Your Subject Mentor and West Midlands Consortium Course Tutor will support you in this process.
