Contribution to the development of graduate attributes
This subject addresses the following Course Intended Learning Outcomes:
1. Professional readiness
1.1) Know students and how they learn, with an advanced ability to critically evaluate the physical, social and emotional dimensions of learners
1.2) Know the content and how to teach it, demonstrating an advanced knowledge of a teaching program in one or more disciplines to critically evaluate its delivery

Teaching and learning strategies
In class time, students experience a range of teaching and learning strategies, including lecturer input, demonstration and modelling; discussion, pair and group tasks; simulated classroom learning activities; teaching observation and practice; independent reading and reflection. The lecturer scaffolds the reading of research-informed texts and students participate in collaborative pair/group tasks to discuss, analyse, and critique key concepts from readings and videos.
Outside class time, Students will also locate appropriate additional academic resources to support written assessment tasks, and write, revise and edit their assignments. Students will reflect on the ways in which their knowledge from this subject can be applied in their professional practice as educators.
Formative feedback
The lecturer will provide formative feedback on students’ comprehension of key concepts and their application in professional practice through a short writing tasks undertaken before census date.
