Subject Overview: |
The subject focuses on supporting the effective integration of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) with a focus on clinical responsive interventionist teaching into Primary Classroom environments. Participants will work collaboratively with academics, school based staff, mentor teachers and clinical specialists to plan, prepare and present models for teaching STEM topics with a focus on Physics, Chemistry and embedded Mathematics/Numeracy, Engineering and Technology. Participants will implement their focus over five weeks in our partner schools, working with small student groups, in professional learning teams, to further refine their teaching model to respond to their student’s needs. This elective builds on Science and Technology and Mathematics subjects already completed, and extends these skills in a school setting. |
