LT1016 Communication, Leadership and Learning Design 7.5 credits

The course contributes to develop the student's ability in professional communication with pupils, guardians and colleagues, as well as leadership and co-workership. The communication can be both oral and written and treat, for example, educational and social cases. In addition to his or her leadership in the teaching is included in the teacher's assignment to contribute to the pupils taking in the democratic fundamental value of the school, which implies respect for fellow humans and human rights. The course also treats procedures and processes for design of learning with a focus on application. This for example implies exercise to apply constructive alignment with goal formulation at design of learning activities and different forms of examination and choice of appropriate physical and digital teaching resources. 

In communication and leadership, the student should on completion of the course be able to: 

1. Propose and discuss strategies for communicating in a respectful and ethical way about pupils' learning, development and social situation with colleagues, the pupils themselves, and their parents/guardians. 

2. Inform pupils, parents/guardians, colleagues and the public about the activities, fundamental values, and goals of the school in an ethical and professional way. 

3. Analyse methods to organise the work in various types of teaching situations and project work 

4. Discuss and evaluate methods to prevent conflicts in working parties e.g. school classes. 

Within design of learning, the student should, on completion of the course, be able to 

5. Analyse preconditions for learning dependent on basic educational view, prior knowledge and context 

6. Use constructive scaffolding in practice i.e. plan learning activities, aims and assessment that are coherent 

7. Identify and describe the teaching resources, both analogue and digital, that is appropriate for the context. And, based on the context choose appropriate technical support for learning
