Assessment Notes (from EDUC 5143)

The assignment aims to develop your understanding of unit planning within your specialist arts area. This assessment task acknowledges that you are a beginning teacher with a developing body of knowledge that can be strengthened by identifying and communicating goals for your role as a professional arts educator (Graduate Qualities 1.6). This project is an ongoing project that will culminate into a Unit of Inquiry (unit plan covering three lessons) that will be submitted online. However, 5% of this assignment is your microteach. Please read the document and rubric regarding your microteach in the assessment folder.

Plan a Unit of Inquiry based on the examples provided by Dinham (Part 3) based on your area of specialisation. Complete the unit plan and the sequence of three lessons or learning experiences from the templates provided. The unit should include well-organised and sequential learning experiences with reference to curriculum documents. (In this project focus on the National Curriculum: ACARA). Provide an overview paragraph (500 words) of how your micro-teach informed your understanding of the complexity of planning and assessment. The unit plan and microteach paragraph will be uploaded as one word document to the curriculum planning project on the learnonline site.
