Module Aims
• To introduce and evaluate a range of learning and teaching theories and strategies that inform planning for learning at session and scheme level.
• To develop evidence- and research-informed understanding of learners’ funds of knowledge and learning needs in planning for learning, to develop equality of opportunity and inclusivity
• To develop effective professional communication skills
• To incorporate the requirements of curriculum, cross-cutting themes, and technology enhanced learning as part of planning for learning.
• To apply core principles of teaching, learning and assessment critically and effectively to deliver a structured and inventive peer-teaching session, as an introduction to teaching and preparation for placement.
• To improve teaching and learning through evidence- and research-informed self-assessment, evaluation, reflection, and responding to feedback.
Content Summary
Indicative content:
• Learning theories and strategies to support planning for learning.
• Theoretical principles to underpin teaching, learning and assessment with reference to subject pedagogy.
• Developing understanding of learners and their funds of knowledge as a basis for planning for learning.
• Embedding cross-cutting themes in planning for learning, to enhance social, cultural and environmental awareness, literacies for learning and equality
• Resources for learning using learning technology and other media
• Exploring curriculum specifications for longer-term planning
• Developing confidence in creating a scheme of work/learning appropriate to own learning and teaching context
• Self-evaluating own teaching, responding to feedback, and making links to theories and principles in the literature
• Reflection and reflective practice
Where the term inventive is used to describe peer teach and schemes, this may relate to themes of activities and assessments being varied, appropriate, considered, and learner-centred/led with some originality and creativity.
This module embeds the following cross-cutting themes:
• Professional and ethical standards
• Developing literacies for learning and professional life
• Authentic and socially-situated learning

Learning Outcomes
| # | Learning Outcome |
|---|---|
| LO1 | Plan for learning at session level to deliver an engaging peer-teaching event using a learner-centred approach underpinned by engagement with theory in practice, that is then critically evaluated based on feedback, self-assessment, and reflection to review areas for development. |
| LO2 | Plan for learning at scheme level with critical engagement with current theoretical principles, knowledge of learners, curriculum requirements, and cross-cutting themes to consider inventive learning opportunities. |

| Written Assignment (CW) | Research Plan/Proposal/Project/Log (CW) 1 | Long-term planning document (scheme of work/learning) for a coherent sequence of six sessions linked to a specific part of the curriculum with critical engagement with pedagogy,understanding of learners, and cross-cutting themes to consider engaging and inventive learning opportunities. The scheme of work/learning should be annotated and referenced to show the theories and principles that underpin the planning choices. | 0 | 1000 | 20 | No | 40 |
