This course addresses how physical activity affects health status and the risks associated with chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, obesity, arthritis, and mental illness. Students will examine the physiological processes of common chronic conditions and how physical activity/exercise may need to be adapted to ensure that it can be completed safely in these populations. Students will also learn about behaviour change strategies for optimising lifelong adherence to physical activity/exercise.

Chronic Disease and Exercise Management

This subject seeks to develop both skills and knowledge in the area of mentoring pre-service and graduate teachers and the peer coaching of established teachers. It explores the various dimensions of &#39;clinical supervision: induction, classroom observation, feedback and reflective practice, mentoring and building collegial relationships within communities of practice. In addition, the subject provides participants with a common language for describing mentees’ and coachee’s achievements and progress. The impact of current research on classroom practice will also be explored in order to establish a standard of performance for student teachers, graduates and established teachers. Contemporary resources developed by the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL) will be critically evaluated; particularly the Australian teacher performance and development framework, the Australian professional standards for teachers and the Australian professional standards for principals. The subject also examines contemporary research on the impact of mentoring /coaching programs for early career and established teachers.

Mentoring & Coaching Pre-service, Graduate and Experienced Teachers

This subject explores curriculum and instructional design principles and practices that support the International Baccalaureate’s Primary Years Programme (PYP). Students explore IB curricular texts to develop their understanding about different types of curricula and issues of curriculum articulation. Starting with a course planner that fits with principles articulated by the IB curriculum guides, students move on to a systematic critique of their own course planner. Students identify potential challenges that current IB educators face in the gaps between the written and taught curricula and gaps between ideals and practice.

Curriculum in the Primary Years Programme

Students critically examine the integral role of assessment and reporting for learning and teaching. Students will develop theoretical and practical understanding of the principles of assessment, with a specific focus on assessment as a tool to promote student achievement and methods of evaluation. Students extend their knowledge of assessment as an evaluative tool that contributes to the ongoing effectiveness of the curriculum and supports different learning needs. In alignment with the mandated International Baccalaureate course planners, students explore assessment specific to the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program and critically examine processes such as self and peer assessment as models by which to encourage autonomy and learner efficacy.

Assessment in the Primary Years Programme

Students completing this subject develop an advanced understanding of the International Baccalaureate pedagogical strategies to promote and maximise student learning and engagement. Students learn about the developmental approach to learning and teaching with a particular focus on inquiry-based learning. Students investigate research-based pedagogies and apply them to children’s and adolescents’ learning. Students develop a capacity to think critically about the way pedagogies are applied in different circumstances for varying purposes, taking into account the broad social, political, and economic context of schools. A focus of the content is on non-traditional pedagogical approaches that foster and encourage student’s creative capacities through their own inquiry.

Applied Pedagogy

Students are introduced to the International Baccalaureate program, both as a philosophy and framework for learning and teaching. Students examine the essential elements of the International Baccalaureate model including the International Baccalaureate mission statement. Students critique successful teaching practices within these programs. Students focus on developing understandings of international education, values education, and the centrality of the Learner Profile to an International Baccalaureate education as well as exploring theoretical implications of international mindedness.

Introduction to International Baccalaureate Education
