Synopsis

This course will explore a range of issues for students in the middle years of schooling. Emerging professionals should have increased awareness of the different responses educational facilities have made to these issues. In particular, this course will focus on the curriculum design and delivery under an outcomes-based education framework and its application to the middle schooling cohort of students. This course aims to give primary and secondary educators increased understanding of issues for middle schooling, strategies for teaching in this area, a broadened perspective of education and to improve cross-sectoral communication. Emerging professionals will develop and design authentic learning experiences for students in the middle years.
