This course introduces students to the research and development literature on Authentic and Productive forms of curriculum. In particular, the course will outline major curricular practices that have been identified in recent research as contributing to greater and more equitable student learning outcomes. As part of this course, students will be introduced to recent developments in how curriculum is understood and practised and an analysis of the relationship between authentic curriculum and current state-based curriculum developments. In addition, the course will engage students in direct experiences of analysing their own and others' curriculum practices using these concepts. The course will be delivered in a flexible mode combining an intensive face-to-face component with distance facilitation of student-centred learning by on-line discussion and email communication.
