This unit is designed to familiarise students with current NSW Syllabus and begin their development of how children learn major concepts in primary mathematics. By engaging with this unit, students will have the opportunity to investigate the requirements of the NSW Syllabus for the Australian Curriculum: Mathematics K-10 syllabus (for K-6) and develop a deep understanding of how to teach mathematical concepts in the primary classroom. Students will explore all strands of the syllabus and gain an understanding of the learning continuum undertaken by children relating to each specific content area of the syllabus.

This unit will focus on developing scientific and technological pedagogical content knowledge appropriate for teaching science and technology for students in the K-6 years. It models appropriate pedagogical and pedagogical content knowledge. Students use collaborative social learning situations to develop content knowledge, along with interpersonal and communication skills. The pedagogies modelled will be inclusive and demonstrate how scientific and technological learning experiences can be developed to cater for the needs of the diverse groups of student learners in primary schools. Students learn about engaging science and technology activities that empower primary school students and create futures for students wher the capacity to engage with and critically evaluate scientific and technological activity will become increasingly necessary. Students focus on themselves as learners and reflect on the implications of their learning and the learning of others in their future professional practice.

This unit is designed to provide a comprehensive account of the teaching of spoken, written and multimodal texts in the primary years of schooling. Students gain an understanding of different theories related to producing texts in a range of modes for different purposes. They investigate a range of written and multimodal genres, their textual structures and grammar and learn to apply these in planning and teaching in mainstream, English as an Additional Language or Dialect (EAL/D) and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander contexts, gaining a critical awareness of varying pedagogic approaches. Students will develop skills in pedagogy and practice, including next practice, within English & Literacy for K-6 students . The knowledge and skills developed in the other units of study in the course can be applied in this unit and Professional Practice units.
