Synopsis

This course builds on elements of curriculum theory and practice gained in previous curriculum and pedagogy courses and professional experiences through an investigation of negotiated context based curriculum issues using a transdisciplinary approach. e.g. cross curricular priorities. This course promotes opportunities to investigate transdisciplinary links, nurture proactive practices in a supportive environment, and develop confidence and enthusiasm to implement innovative curriculum plans developed in partnership with a facilitator in an appropriate professional context. Students will be expected to be in contact with their school or other context each week.
