There will be a focus on evaluating and teaching number concepts, taking into account the range of developmental understanding and student ability prior to school entry. The emphasis will be on the pedagogical approaches and teaching strategies suitable for Early Stage 1 and Stage 1 which will develop your understanding of numeracy and encourage the application of numeracy to mathematical concepts. There will also be a focus on the formative and summative assessment strategies needed to evaluate student progress in the early years.

This course is complemented by a minimum of 5 days of supervised professional experience.
