Assessment for Learning

Credit:4 hours.

Pushes the boundaries of theory and practice, forges strong connections between both, encourages lateral relationships of professional learning and focuses on the effect of this professional learning on the performance/outcomes of the students of course participants. Participants in the program will focus on the investigation of language across the curriculum and the broader question of the communicative or representational conditions of learning. Participants will be able to join the program whose training and professional experience ranges from the early years of schooling to adult learning. The program supplements traditional, alphabetical notions of literacy (including the literacies required for learning across a wide range of discipline areas), with a broader conception of literacy in the context of new media, global communications and cultural and linguistic diversity. Prerequisite: Acceptance into the Master of Education with an emphasis on New Learning and New Literacies program.
