This professional practice course focuses on the development of intentional pedagogical design. Building on the foundations established in Year 1, students take increasing responsibility for planning and teaching learning experiences that align with curriculum purposes and respond to learner needs. Students design and implement coherent lesson sequences, using formative assessment and feedback to support learner progress. Attention is given to inclusive learning design and culturally responsive teaching practices that recognise the diverse identities, languages, and experiences of learners in Aotearoa New Zealand. Through supported teaching and professional reflection, students begin to integrate curriculum knowledge, assessment practices, and pedagogical decision-making in authentic classroom contexts.
