Education Summer School Students will have a daily placement at a local school, allowing the simultaneous development of education theory and practice.
Storytelling & Play: Learning from Children’s Worlds
This course explores how play, storytelling, and creative expression shape children’s learning and development across diverse educational contexts.
We will examine how theories of development, culture, and learning can inform teaching practices that recognise children as active meaning-makers, in particular, how educators can listen to and work with children’s stories – through play, art, conversation, and imagination – to design learning environments that are responsive to the students' needs.
Teaching Diverse Students in the US and England
Today’s classrooms are rich with many kinds of diversity. This course will address future educators’ development in teaching diverse groups of learners, examining how best to apply theories of learning and development to the practice of teaching.
Our particular focus will be on cultivating a strengths-based approach, incorporating the unique family and community contexts of our learners into the design and implementation of learning units.
