This course is for students who wish to develop understanding of teaching and learning in relation to an additional junior secondary teaching subject. Students are introduced to curriculum, pedagogy and assessment in their additional junior secondary subject and develop pedagogical content knowledge to support teaching and learning in that subject. They critically examine the New Zealand Curriculum (NZC), associated curriculum and assessment support materials, contemporary pedagogical developments and associated practice challenges in relation to their additional junior secondary subject. There is a particular focus on knowledge foundations, culturally responsive and sustaining pedagogies that support learning for all, relevant subject-specific literacies, and design for learning within subject context.
