Humanities in Primary

This unit of study will introduce preservice teachers to the curriculum and pedagogy required for effective teaching of Humanities with a focus on students in the primary years of schooling, The Victorian Curriculum and Australian Curriculum (ACARA) Foundation Level through to Level 6 will guide the work students do. This will be combined with an integrated approach using ACARA's Cross-Curriculum priorities to enhance Humanities education in primary school contexts, in inclusive ways. Doing this preservice teachers make authentic connections to the local environment to generate learning experiences that connect to real world experiences and then demonstrate ways educators communicate these experiences back to the stakeholders of education.
