Module Learning Strategies
The material will be introduced through a series of 12 hours lectures to introduce current issues facing schools based on a historical context.
Tutorials (6 hours) will allow students to reflect upon issues and research. Students will visit and observe good teaching practice in a school (1x6 hours). Appropriate clearance for working with young people would be required. Students would neither be in charge of a class, or on their own during their own during this observation session.
