EDMAS6048 Literacy and Numeracy across the subject areas
This unit is designed to enhance knowledge and skills related to the e¿ective teaching of literacy and numeracy across discipline-specific subject areas in secondary schools. It begins with the critical exploration of personal literacy and numeracy experiences. Pre-service Teachers (PSTs) examine the nature and function of literacy and numeracy in school and society and the links to ongoing learning and opportunity. PSTs develop expertise in the explicit teaching of reading, writing and numeracy across the curriculum and trial and evaluate evidence-informed teaching approaches in school contexts. They learn how to enhance reading comprehension, subject-specific vocabulary, writing proficiency and incorporate the explicit teaching of numeracy and problem-solving. They build knowledge of multi-tiered systems of support and examine why they are effective in the teaching of literacy and numeracy. PSTs learn about the nature of critical literacy and examine the way new technologies are impacting on literacy and numeracy practices.
