Introduction
Effective teaching practice is informed by an understanding of students’ physical, intellectual, social, emotional, moral, and spiritual development and how they learn. In this unit, you will explore the following overarching questions: How can teachers create the conditions that promote students’ development and learning? What factors influence human flourishing? You will analyse key theories of development, engage with research into how students learn, and consider the implications for your teaching practice.
