| Description | (April 2009) This unit offers a catalyst for discussion and development of further units which will meet the needs of learners in a range of contexts. As will be evident, the focus of the unit is on helping individual students take responsibility for their own learning, rather on subject “content”. Each student should be able to answer: What am I learning? Why am I learning that? How will I learn that?How will I know I have learned it? In implementing the new curriculum, “the change is as much about reviewing how we teach as what we teach” (Rosemary Hipkins). While this unit is very much a work in progress, having been prepared with the needs and interests of a particular class in mind and trialled towards the end of a school year, it endeavours to incorporate principles of “effective pedagogy” (NZC Pages 34-36).
