Lifelong Learning Initial Teacher Training
Course Materials
OUTLINE PROGRAMME FOR L1008 (LL1011 embedded - 27/11/07)
6 weeks (to include session for integrating L1011)
SUPPORTING NOTES:
This outline programme has a number of additions which we hope will be useful all course team members, including:



More explicit addressing of issues relating to Equality and Diversity and race relations throughout
Tracking of module learning outcomes as they are addressed, and LL1011 practical teaching learning outcomes where
they can be addressed.
New Learning Activities
The inclusion of a ‘curriculum audit’ is intended to support the trainees both in looking critically at their practice, and preparing them for the
curriculum development proposal.
The ‘embedding’ activities are either new or adaptations of existing activities.
The ‘Teaching Excellence’ activity could arguable take place in any module in either year 1 or year 2.
