Course Description

The Primary Basic Additional Qualification course focuses on educating the active, curious primary child in Kindergarten to grade 3. We begin our exploration with who the primary child is and some key characteristics and pedagogues (e.g. play, inquiry). We continue by building our instructional toolbox for the primary 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 time to read, reflect, respond and develop new skills and knowledge. Candidates work individually and in groups on assignments, presentations and projects. Ongoing constructive and supportive feedback to group and individual assignments enhances this interactive teaching and learning environment.
