While these will be addressed as important and discrete curricular strands, students will also be encouraged to identify and investigate aspects of content and pedagogy that they share. Additionally they will be encouraged to make meaningful connections to other curriculum areas and to children's everyday experiences.
Links will also be made with theoretical perspectives on learning and teaching in the complementary Education 1A course and the Curriculum and Pedagogy course 1b.
