This subject has a combined emphasis on language and literacy, pedagogy and assessment across the disciplines. Teacher Candidates will be introduced to the language and literacy demands of the range of subject areas taught in the secondary school. The subject draws on research and practice to examine a range of topics including: the scaffolding role of the teacher in students’ learning through language; teachers’ and students’ use of oral language to enhance learning; strategies for supporting students’ reading and writing; planning for literacy in the subject areas; Universal Design for Learning and tiered approaches to orchestrating inclusive classrooms; assessment techniques that underpin the articulation of learning progressions; and methods and moderation processes that support consistent and comparable judgements of student learning . The theme of the content presented in this core subject is ‘making judgements and adjustments’.
