Assessment: In pairs or groups of three, over 10 weeks pre-service teachers were to develop a compressive lesson plan (i.e. context, perspective/pedagogical model, curriculum goals, lesson goals, and what, how and why of pupil learning experiences), and justify and reflect on pedagogical decisions. Requirement of two supervision meetings with one of the teacher educators.
