Candidates will also explore the differences between formative and summative assessments. UNIT 2: TEACHING AN EFFECTIVE LESSON Candidates will explore the practice of learning and teaching an effective lesson. They will develop an understanding of what makes a lesson coherent, plan and design lessons with clear aims and objectives and employ active learning approaches to enhance student learning. UNIT 3: FACILITATING ACTIVE LEARNING THROUGH EFFECTIVE TEACHING AND ASSESSMENT Candidates will develop a deeper understanding of the teaching concepts to facilitate active learning and assessment.

  • Observing a colleague’s classroom practice
  • Planning, teaching, learning and assessment materials that arise naturally out of the teaching process
  • Feedback from mentor, colleagues, students and others
