This module supports your academic learning in your chosen Primary phase. It introduces you to pedagogical frameworks relevant to your classroom practice and supports you in developing your subject and curriculum knowledge for teaching. Resources for the module, including recorded lectures and reading, are available online using the University of Exeter’s virtual learning environment, ELE.  Directed tasks will enable you to relate your developing professional practice in school to scholarly and professional literature and theoretical frameworks to deepen your understanding of teaching and learning.
