Content
This unit provides students with opportunities to understand and apply evidence informed research about learning literacy and numeracy across disciplines in the primary classroom, with a focus on the Australian Curriculum. Students will learn how to plan for and teach numeracy and literacy (including reading and writing) instruction with a focus on the progressive removal of scaffolding appropriate to discipline areas other than Mathematics and English in the primary classroom. Using knowledge of assessment strategies, students will understand the importance of informal and formal, diagnostic, formative and summative approaches to assess student learning of literacy and numeracy. Students will demonstrate knowledge about a range of resources, and will evaluate teaching programs using related academic understandings and engagement with materials that can be used to improve Literacy and Numeracy learning across disciplines.
