Junior Basic - Teaching the Junior Child Focus

The Junior Basic Additional Qualification course (Teaching the Junior Child) focuses on educating the active, independent junior child in grades 4-6.

We begin our exploration with who the junior child is and some key characteristics and pedagogues (e.g. inquiry). We continue by building our instructional toolbox for the junior classroom including strategies for assessment and planning and explore program considerations for the various Ontario curriculum areas. Through conversation, reflection, inquiry and active exploration in a variety of settings (individual, small group, large group), we will build on the understanding we each bring to the learning community and extend our understanding as a collective. The online sections of this course offer convenient, supportive, and flexible access, enabling candidates to take their time to read, reflect, respond and build on their knowledge. Ongoing constructive and supportive feedback to group and individual assignments enhances this interactive teaching and learning environment.

Prerequisites
