TIME	MONDAY	TUESDAY	WEDNESDAY	THURSDAY	FRIDAY
Year One	(1:30 - 4:30 pm) This course aims to integrate and apply theological reflection, providing opportunities for learners to develop skills for working with biblical texts in appropriate leadership, church, mission, or community contexts. 215.515 Beginning Theology Sam Burrows LR5	(9:30 am - 12:30 pm) This course introduces the foundational concepts of teaching and learning in the context of the digital age. The course also develops an understanding of the learner in a learning-focused culture. Digital technologies are changing the way that teachers plan, curate resources, organise content delivery and manage the classroom environment. Digital devices both make new types of learning activities possible, and at the same time highlight how learner preferences and competencies for digital learning vary. This course will explore these issues, as well as how to maximise motivation for learning in an innovative learning environment. The role of assessment of learners’ achievement and evaluation of effective teaching and learning in innovative environments is also explored. 851.515 Innovative Teaching Rebecca Dow LR7 *	(9:30 am - 12:30 pm) This foundational course explores primary education as ako—the flow of teaching and learning, the spiritual nurturing of the child—taha wairua, and whaiwāhitanga—inclusion of all learners.  On this platform, a broad understanding of additional learning needs is identified, and effective and responsive pedagogies are developed and connected to inclusive practices, inclusive environments, and inclusive management strategies.  A theology of inclusion is developed in response to an understanding of how teacher values, attitudes and beliefs impact on learner and learning. 855.515 Inclusive Education Yvonne Burrows LR5 In LR4 on 25 May		(9:30 am - 3:30 pm) People of all cultures draw their own self-knowledge from their engagement with other people and the world. In the Aotearoa New Zealand context this means an honouring of the covenantal spirit of the Treaty of Waitangi and an awareness of its relational intent. This course introduces Tikanga Maori on the basis of understanding people in their contexts, and combines theological, theoretical and historical reflection with the development of practices drawn from an integration of these. The course includes regular oral activities aimed at developing fluency in the use of te reo and tikanga in a range of settings. The culmination of this oral learning is participation in the Noho Marae, where an overnight stay on a marae provides an integrated opportunity to engage with Maori culture beyond the classroom. 907.515 Bicultural Relationships Brad Haami LR7 * (9:30 am - 3:30 pm) People of all cultures draw their own self-knowledge from their engagement with other people and the world.
