Synopsis

This course provides the opportunity for students to experience continuous teaching and learning activities and professional responsibilities that will enable them to realistically develop an embryonic understanding of teaching in the contemporary context. There will be significant emphasis placed on the total teaching experience, including dealing with multiple and sometimes conflicting roles, accountability, professionalism, rights and responsibilities, ethics, curriculum analysis and change, and conflict resolution.
