Course Overview

Intro

The Learning Support Educator is responsible for preparing educational material that plays an active role in the instructional and educational process taking place in class.

The Maltese education system is divided into three modules, namely: Early years (Kinder to Year 2), Primary Years (Year 3 to 6) and Secondary Years (Year 7 to 11). These modules were created to explore transversal strategies.

The LSE needs to be confident in the methodologies used at all levels. This knowledge is necessary since a Year 11 student’s academic level could be comparable to that of a Year 3 pupil due to disability.

Therefore, this MQF Level 6 module (3 ECTS) teaches the necessary skills to create strategies and resources that complement the student’s needs and capabilities.

• Understanding the Maltese Early Years Curriculum (Guidelines)
