Debra Tyler| Subject Overview: | The subject begins from the position of the pre-service teacher and their capacity to locate themselves beyond the classroom; to become policy actors and problem solvers in a school community where a complex number of stakeholders co-exist. The emphasis is also on understanding the social context of schooling more fully and the changing role of the teacher within this. The organization and selection of material in seminar groups and lectures is intended to provide a range of perspectives and opportunities for direct engagement with current education policy issues. |
