Learning and Teaching

Learning and Teaching Introduction

Learning and Teaching

Teaching on each module will comprise asynchronous lectures, independent reflection activities, in-person seminars and workshops, which are designed to cultivate skills in group work and critical discussion. Across all modules and activities there will be a strong emphasis on reflective practice; students will be encouraged to assess and reflect upon the effectiveness of their own practice.

Assessment

Assessments associated with this course are outlined below:

• EDU7322: This module has two assessed components. 1) Bi-weekly reflections based upon the relevant topic (25% weighted); and 2) A 2,000-word assignment selecting and critically appraising strategies which will form an ILP based upon a case-study. There is no compensation between the two assignments – each must achieve a mark of at least 50%.
  EDU7243: This module has one assessed component with 100% weighting. The assessment will take the form of a critical analysis examining the importance of evidence-informed practice in improving outcomes for pupils with SEN. This assessment can be submitted either as a written essay or as a 10-minute recorded presentation.

Career Prospects
