Students will explore diversity in education and specifically health and physical activity (HPE) from various perspectives; diverse teaching practices, teaching diverse learners, teaching in diverse settings and teaching about diversity. They will revisit diverse teaching practices and will develop strategies to identify, teach and assess diverse learners. Working collaboratively with a peer, students will undertake an extensive study into a diverse group (e.g. Indigenous Australians, students with a disability) exploring background factors such as history, culture and language, and how these factors shape learning in general, and specifically in HPE. They will also explore how educational policy, curriculum and practices support and constrain learning. Opportunities and strategies for teaching in diverse settings will be studied. Students will participate in a diverse teaching experience, either in a diverse setting, or teaching a diverse learner in a school setting. Additionally, students will also explore curriculum guidelines and develop curriculum to teach diversity awareness and acceptance in HPE.
