Content
Classroom Pedagogies is the second unit in a two-part sequence designed to develop pre-service teachers' ability to effectively manage primary school classrooms. This unit equips students with practical strategies for proactive classroom management, student engagement, and lesson planning to prevent and respond to challenging behaviours. Through a combination of theoretical learning, practical application, and critical reflection, students will develop evidence- informed teaching strategies that promote positive and inclusive learning environments.
A core focus of the unit is implementing proactive classroom practices, establishing high expectation, building relationships, and planning structured lessons to foster student participation and minimise disruptions. The unit includes a 15- day professional experience placement, during which students will apply their learning in authentic classroom contexts. This cycle of learning, practice, and reflection enables students to refine their approaches in response to real- world teaching experiences.
By the end of the unit, students will be able to implement effective classroom pedagogies, manage student behaviour using research- informed strategies, and engage in professional reflection to continuously enhance their teaching practice.
