SummaryThe focus for this course is on the teacher, and their conceptions of, and practices in, learning and teaching. Participants will have the opportunity to critically examine, in a collaborative manner, knowledge and skills that they have established and to build on this expertise. The course will allow participants to both gain an overview of their learning and teaching practices and to consider one aspect in some depth. They will encounter perspectives on learning and teaching from the educational literature, which are likely to be valuable tools for progressing critical, informed reflection and systematic enquiry into classroom practice.

The course will provide induction and scaffolded support for participants to develop knowledge, understandings and skills required to further their professional development at Masters level, including those for reading and writing and presentation.
