is comprised of on-the-job supervised instructional activities designed to allow for the implementation of concepts, theory and principles of teaching, learning and curriculum in an adult and post-secondary education setting.

provides students with opportunities to examine current teaching and learning strategies applicable to technology education programs. The course will focus on advanced design and materials processing and fabrication using modern digital manufacturing equipment. Topics include: design, fabrication, and assembly processing, within the application of a design process and portfolio development.

is designed to provide students with an understanding of key concepts in robotic development and control applications. Students will complete practical activities that promote development of the skills necessary to deliver a comprehensive program in this area of study. Topics include: the study of electrical energy, analog and digital electronics; fabrication techniques; object oriented/event driven programming; and wireless robotic control over Internet Protocol (IP).

will provide students opportunities to apply current teaching and learning strategies within the technology education laboratory environment in relation to a selection of skilled trades. Students will examine labour trends that are impacting on society’s ability to expand and maintain today’s infrastructure. The course features hands-on, practical learning experiences, to support the concepts that have been theoretically discussed in class.

examines the theory and practice of selected advanced specialized Post-Secondary Education technical skills and their application to the laboratory, workshop and business office.

begins with a critical examination of traditional approaches to multi-grading. The main focus of the course will be to introduce teachers to the potential of adopting a multi-age approach in small schools which have of necessity grouped children of more than one age group and grade level together for instruction. This course will also examine the implications of implementing a philosophy of multi-age pedagogy in the primary, elementary and intermediate grades (K-9).

introduces the theory and practice of evaluation and assessment in educational settings. Topics include the nature of classroom assessment; production, administration and evaluation of teacher-made tests and other assessment tools; product and performance assessment; grading and reporting communication of evaluation information; and the analysis and application of assessment data to instructional planning and the improvement of teaching.

will have topics announced by the Faculty of Education.
