Handbook

In this subject, preservice teachers will draw on their established knowledge about literacy, numeracy and curriculum development in order to demonstrate understanding of how a focus on literacy and numeracy can evidence outcomes for learning areas other than English and mathematics.  Preservice teachers will design teaching and learning experiences across the discipline areas of the Australian Curriculum. For literacy, students will focus on various genres of writing for discipline-specific purposes and how to integrate their application across the primary curriculum. In relation to numeracy, students will identify the way in which numerical information and mathematical representations are embedded in meaningful contexts and how the mathematics can be used to make evidence-based informed decisions. A critical literacy and numeracy framework will be used to explore the utility of various resources for learning and teaching purposes.
