This Secondary Education Teaching Skills – Advanced Course consists of ten structured lectures followed by an assessment, each focusing on a core area of secondary education knowledge and professional understanding.

The course begins with an introduction to secondary education, exploring the structure, aims, and professional context of secondary schooling. Child and adolescent development examines developmental stages, learning needs, and behavioural considerations relevant to secondary-aged learners.

Pedagogy and curriculum planning explore teaching approaches, curriculum design principles, and lesson planning frameworks used in secondary education. Subject-specific teaching and assessment introduce considerations related to teaching different subject areas and aligning assessment with learning objectives.

Assessment and evaluation focus on formative and summative assessment principles, feedback approaches, and evaluation of learning outcomes. Classroom management and behaviour examine strategies for supporting positive learning environments and managing behaviour from a theoretical perspective.

Special educational needs and inclusion in secondary education explore inclusive practice, equality principles, and strategies for supporting diverse learner needs within secondary settings. Professional development and reflective practice introduce reflective models, self-evaluation, and continuous improvement in teaching-related roles.

School placement and practicum are addressed at an awareness level only, focusing on understanding the purpose of placements, observation practices, and professional expectations, without providing access to placements or practical teaching authority. The course concludes with assessment awareness, reinforcing academic and professional learning outcomes.
