Teacher Education Refresh

Welcome to Teacher Education Refresh (TER)

This is a blended course comprising of face-to-face days, practicum (including an assignment) and online learning modules.

Each TER course begins with 3 face-to-face days where participants meet with their facilitators and reconnect with the New Zealand Curriculum with a significant focus on effective pedagogy and culturally responsive pedagogy. 

The face-to-face days will also introduce you to Google Classroom so you can familiarise yourself with the online platform used in the course.

The online component consists of 6 modules which will be made available on a weekly basis including:

• Effective Pedagogy, Scaffolding

• Pasifika Education

• Inclusive Education

• English Language Learners

• Assessment

Each module is expected to take approximately 4 hours with short tasks for you to complete. It is important that you keep up with these as you will be required to contribute to discussions and provide feedback to the TER group, and the learning will be relevant to your practicum.

You will complete a 4 week practicum with a formal observation visit from one of our facilitators. During practicum you will complete a teaching as inquiry assignment. 

Your associate teacher(s) will also complete a report 

Following practicum we continue our learning around effective pedagogies through some online tasks and conclude with online session where we come together to share our practicum experiences.
