Overview
This unit enables you to build a strong foundation for your career-long professional learning as a secondary school teacher of accounting and related commerce studies.

Through an examination of a range of curricula drawn from state, national and international contexts, you will be familiarised with current developments in the theory, research and practice of accounting education. You will work independently, collaboratively and interdependently to develop your capabilities in planning and implementing appropriate curriculum and pedagogy. You will learn how teachers plan for and undertake educational projects and research as part of your professional work. The unit reinforces a view of learning about teaching as an ongoing, collaborative process that is developed through critical reflection on experience.
