The course focuses on the practical implications of equity, diversity and inclusion in schools. Ākonga will examine a range of strategies for adapting and modifying programmes, the learning environment and how to work with parents, whānau and communities to meet the social and emotional needs of tamariki and rangatahi.

Ākonga are supported to design, teach and assess selected learning opportunities in relation to the curriculum areas they are studying. They increase their teaching time incrementally during the professional experience and are encouraged to become involved in all the activities, which are part of the working life of kaiako. Ākonga become familiar with the local community and environment and understand how this affects the locally designed curriculum.
