Trident Learning

A knowledge of curriculum theory and practice is essential for all practitioners in education.  Hence, the significance of the models that guide the curriculum process should be understood.  This course is, therefore, designed to provide teachers with the knowledge, skills and competencies necessary for facilitating curriculum development, innovation, implementation and evaluation.  Furthermore, it will provide participants with the opportunity to analyse the factors that influence curriculum change in the Caribbean.

Language is a complex system which allows individuals to interact with people and objects in their environment as they seek to construct meaning. It is, therefore, important for teachers to understand how children learn language and to provide instruction that engages them meaningfully as they learn the language arts.
This course is designed as an introduction to the teaching of Language Arts in the primary school.
Participants will investigate specific, practical and effective methods for the teaching of Language Arts based on current theory and research. Through a performance-based approach, participants will explore materials and organisational strategies that enable them to effectively plan, assess and implement language arts experiences that will provide primary school students with the skills and knowledge necessary for successful learning.
