Learning Outcomes

Co-construct curriculum as a co-worker with learners and others (parents, families, colleagues and community members) to make sound decisions for learning and teaching experiences, as opposed to being passive receivers of prescribed curriculum.
Synthesize conceptual understandings of children, theory, content, technology and socio-cultural contexts into meaningful activities and opportunities for learning with all students in pre-kindergarten to grade three.
Engage in the habit of self-assessment in order to continually uncover unknown possibilities in children’s learning, classroom practice, educational theory and one’s own teaching identity in the local and global context.
Become committed to the children and their learning, the families and the local community while having an awareness of the global context.
Engage in continuous self-improvement and lifelong learning.
Apply skills, knowledge and dispositions to challenge “questionable” policies that limit opportunities for all children.
