Coronavirus (COVID - 19) Update Curtin University is committed to supporting all our students and staff whether they are on campus, working remotely or overseas. Your health, safety and wellbeing are our priority and the continuing COVID - 19 pandemic may require changes to the unit schedule, learning activities, delivery modes and assessment to provide flexible and safe options to our community. Curtin will endeavour to keep changes and disruptions to a minimum at all times. For current advice and further information visit https://www.curtin.edu.au/novel - coronavirus/ . Syllabus This unit examines literacy and numeracy as a dynamic, evolving, social, and cultural - historical construction, rather than being represented as a fixed body of skills. It focuses on identifying and understanding the literacy and numeracy demands and conventions in learning areas other than English and Mathematics. This is accomplished by developing an awareness of opportunities for the planning and application of critical literacy and numeracy skills across the curriculum. Introduction Introduction This unit is a core unit in the Bachelor of Education (Secondary Education) Course. The learning in this unit reinforces the position that all teachers are teachers of literacy and numeracy, regardless of their teaching specialisation and context. It aims to provide you with a range of skills, strategies and understandings to teach literacy and numeracy across the curriculum. Literacy and numeracy form part of the General Capabilities of the Australian Curriculum and are integrated in all learning areas. There are rich opportunities for developing literacy and numeracy skills and understandings across the curriculum, not just in English and Mathematics. Confidence and competence in literacy and numeracy is integral to effective learning in all learning areas and across all years of schooling from Preschool to Year 12. Literacy and numeracy skills are fundamental to participating in society and provide the foundations for life - long learning. All subject areas have specific literate and numerate practices that students need to learn and use in order to participate and succeed. This unit will help you understand how literacy and numeracy operates in your specialist discipline so that you can assist students to become effective and confident learners, applying literacy and numeracy skills and concepts broadly. You will explore literacy and numeracy as a social and cultural practice, and gain a theoretical understanding of how knowledge is demonstrated. You will identify and critically analyse the literacy and numeracy demands across and within the Australian curriculum and develop a deeper understanding of the structures of disciplinary knowledge and the language and maths features that characterise all subject areas. You will investigate multiliteracies; the nature of numeracy and the extent to which it relates to mathematical concepts, skills and thinking across the curriculum; effective teaching strategies for content - specific literacies and numeracies; theories related to vocabulary development; digital technologies as a powerful way to support and enhance meaning and critical and creative thinking; authentic literacy and numeracy learning across the curriculum; and how language and mathematics shapes understanding across diverse settings and cultures. This background theory and knowledge will assist you to plan and develop creative and appropriate active learning activities and sequences of lessons that address the numeracy and literacy demands embedded in the curriculum, without compromising the teaching of content. As part of this unit you will also consolidate and critically reflect on your own personal literacy and numeracy skills and application.

All graduates of Curtin University achieve a set of six Graduate Capabilities during their course of study. These inform an employer that, through your studies, you have acquired discipline knowledge and a range of other skills and capabilities which employers would value in a professional setting. Each unit in your course addresses the Graduate Capabilities through a clearly identified set of learning outcomes. They form a vital part in the process referred to as assurance of learning. The learning outcomes notify you of what you are expected to know, understand or be able to do in order to be successful in this unit. Each assessment for this unit is carefully designed to test your knowledge of one or more of the unit learning outcomes. On successfully completing all of the assessments you will have achieved all of these learning outcomes. Your course has been designed so that on graduating you will have achieved all of Curtin's Graduate Capabilities through the assurance of learning processes in each unit.

Each of your tutors and Unit Coordinators is obliged to observe this policy. Assessment and Student Progression Manual In order to pass this unit, all assessment tasks must be submitted and an overall mark of 50% or more must be achieved. It is not essential to pass all assessments, although the overall Unit Learning Outcomes must be achieved in order to pass a unit. Successful submission means that: l If the assessment task comprises discrete components, such as: ¡ three components of a portfolio, involving separate tasks addressing different aspects of the Unit Learning Outcomes ¡ discrete sections such as test results and a report ¡ mandatory accompanying documentation such as a Parental Consent Form Then all components must be provided for the assessment to be deemed as submitted. Late penalties will apply until the complete assessment is submitted. l The electronic file must be readable. It is a student’s responsibility to ensure that assessments are complete and have been successfully uploaded in a readable format. You are advised to check that your file can be opened and that all sections are present and readable. Please seek assistance if you experience technical problems. l For Turnitin Assessments – Successful submissions will display a green success message once submitted and you will receive a receipt, or notification of successful submission via email. If you do not receive this confirmation, your assessment is not submitted. l For Blackboard assessment submissions, you will get a success message at the top of the screen, an email confirming submission and can see it listed as submitted in the ‘my grades’ tool. l It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that assessments are successfully submitted. Late penalties will apply for identifying that the assessment was not successfully submitted post the due date. l If you experience technical problems submitting you can contact hum - edLTS@curtin.edu.au f or support. Students are strongly advised to ensure work is backed up to a separate, retrievable location, as extensions are unlikely to be granted for last - minute computer failure. Record of marked assessments: Access to units will cease 18 months after the study period finishes. You are advised to download and save ALL marked assessments from your units once you have received your final grade. Students who are repeating this unit If you have previously attempted this unit, you may be able to re - use parts of your assessm ent tasks in this unit attempt. However, in order to avoid self - plagiarism, it is essential that you follow the following procedure: 1. Contact your Unit Coordinator with a request at least seven days prior to the due date for submission. 2. In making your request, provide a copy of your previously - submitted work and clearly identify the parts of your previous submission that you would like to re - use. Pay close attention to the requirements of the assessment task for the current unit, as these may have changed and your earlier work may not address them adequately. Also consider whether your work can be improved upon in order to maximise your marks, paying Faculty of Humanities School of Education EDSC1009 Literacy and Numeracy Across the Curriculum Bentley Perth Campus 20 Feb 2023 School of Education, Faculty of Humanities Page: 8 of 16 CRICOS Provider Code 00301J The only authoritative version of this Unit Outline is to be found online in OASIS
careful attention to feedback received. 3. If your request is approved, retain the approval notification, as you will need to attach this to your work. 4. In submitting your assessment, provide the following: l This statement: I, (student name), declare that I have previously submitted parts or all of this submission in XXX, YYYY (e.g. SP4, 2017) in unit XXXX#### (e.g. EDUC1001). l A copy of the approval received from your Unit Coordinator. Please note this can be a screen shot. Your tutor will then disregard any similarity to your previous work as revealed by Turnitin, and you will not breach Academic Integrity requirements for the sections of your work that have been approved for resubmission. Turnitin matches for all other content will be reviewed as usual for compliance with Academic Integrity requirements. Please be very aware that if you resubmit previous work for the same unit without attending to the above, you will breach Academic Integrity requirements and this may result in a case of self - plagiarism being logged, which yo u will then need to answer to. This can then result in penalties being applied to your mark. Please also note that the above applies ONLY to work being resubmitted from a previous attempt at the same unit. You cannot under any circumstances re - use work submitted for a different unit. If you have any questions about how to manage this process, please contact your Unit Coordinator, who will be able to advise you. Academic staff are keen to ensure that you are properly protected by policy provisions and not disadvantaged. This depends on you following procedures correctly. Marking: Assessment submissions are marked by your tutor or another member of the School's tutoring team who has experience with the unit content. Assessments are used to determine your achievement of the unit's learning outcomes; and marking is guided by the rubric (or marking guide) provided for this purpose. Every assessment is moderated to ensure a high level of consistency across the markers who are marking the assessment.

Assessment Moderation Fair assessment through moderation Moderation describes a quality assurance process to ensure that assessments are appropriate to the learning outcomes, and that students work is evaluated consistently by assessors. Minimum standards for the moderation of assessments are described in the Assessment and Student Progression Manual, available from policies.curtin.edu.au/findapolicy/ Pre- marking moderation Intra- marking / Post - marking moderation Late assessment Where the submission of a late assessment is permitted, late penalties will be consistently applied in this unit. Where a late assessment is permitted for an assessment item or the entirety of the unit (refer to the Assessment Schedule table in this Unit Outline) and the student does not have an approved assessment extension: 1. For assessment items submitted within the first 24 hours after the due date/time, students will be penalised by a deduction of 5% of the total marks allocated for the assessment task; 2. For each additional 24 hour period commenced an additional penalty of 10% of the total marks allocated for the assessment item will be deducted; and 3. Assessment items submitted more than 168 hours late (7 calendar days) will receive a mark of zero. Where late assessment is NOT permitted for an assessment item or the entirety of the unit (refer to the Assessment Schedule table in this Unit Outline) and the student does not have an approved assessment extension: 1. All assessment items submitted after the due date/time will receive a mark of zero. Tutors in the unit undertake a review of the assessment tasks and moderation arrangements. Intra - Marking Moderation Academic staff marking the assessment undertake a marking calibration process. A distributed sample of assessed work, with attention to borderline marks, is reviewed by another member of the School’s tutoring team who has experience with this content. All potentially failing assessments are specifically reviewed. Post - Marking Moderation If you receive your assessment results and find that there is inaccuracy in the marking of the assessment, you have the following options. Please make sure you have explored Step 1 prior to engaging in Step 2: Step 1 : Contact your Unit Coordinator and Request for Review of Assessment within 24 hours of receiving your results. Submit the form to your UC via email. Your Unit Coordinator will review your mark for inaccuracy and organise additional marking or moderation if necessary. The UC will offer you a response to your request within two business days after your initial lodgement. This will give you time to lodge a formal appeal if necessary. Step 2 : When you receive the outcome of your Request for Review of Assessment, if you still believe the assessment was inaccurate, you have the right to lodge a formal appeal . This needs to be completed within ten working days from the original release of marks . If you have any questions or need further advice, please contact your Unit Coordinator in the first instance. The Curtin Student Guild also provides excellent information on the Appeals process at Curtin.

Reasonable adjustments for students with disabilities/health circumstances likely to impact on studies A Curtin Access Plan (CAP) is a document that outlines the type and level of support required by a student with a disability or health condition to have equitable access to their studies at Curtin. Carers for people with disability may also be eligible for support. This support can include alternative exam or test arrangements, study materials in accessible formats, access to Curtin's facilities and services or other support as discussed with an advisor from AccessAbility Services . Documentation is required from your treating Health Professional to confirm your health circumstances or carer responsibilities. If you think you may be eligible for a CAP, please contact AccessAbility Services. If you already have a CAP please provide it to the Unit Coordinator in week 1 of each study period. If your results show that you have been granted a deferred assessment you should immediately check OASIS for details.

Academic Integrity (including plagiarism and cheating) Academic Integrity Curtin's Student Charter , Academic Integrity Program (AIP) , and core Values guide expectations regarding student behaviour and responsibilities. Information on these topics can be found on the Academic Integrity Website . Academic Integrity Warnings An Academic Integrity Warning may be issued to a student in limited circumstances and only where misconduct is not involved. Academic Misconduct Staff members are required to report poor academic practice and suspected misconduct. Academic Misconduct means conduct by a student that is dishonest or unfair in connection with any academic work. This includes all types of plagiarism, cheating, collusion, falsification or fabrication of content, and behaviours like falsifying medical certificates for extension. Contract cheating , the use of file sharing, translation services/apps, paraphrasing tools (text - spinners), article generators, and assignment help websites also may be considered academic misconduct. Check your assessment instructions carefully before using any generative artificial intelligence (Gen - AI) software (e.g. Chat GPT, Midjourney, GitHub Copilot, etc.). You are not permitted to use Gen - AI software in any assessment task unless written permission is explicitly granted by the Unit Coordinator (e.g. within Blackboard or the assignment specifications). If the use of Gen - AI software has been approved, you must document its use, apply appropriate acknowledgement and attribution rules, and include a statement as to the nature and extent of the use when submitting the assessment. Unapproved, inappropriate, or undisclosed use may be dishonest or unfair behaviour, and thus considered misconduct. For further information on the use of Gen - AI software see the Academic Integrity Website . The longer term personal, social, and financial consequences of misconduct can be severe, so please ask your tutors or unit coordinator if you need clarification or are unsure what to do. If your work is the subject of an inquiry, you will be given an opportunity to respond and appropriate support will be provided. Academic work under inquiry will not be graded until the process has concluded. Penalties for misconduct may include a warning, a reduced or nil grade, a requirement to repeat the assessment, an annulled grade (ANN) or termination from the course. For more information refer to Statute No.10 Student Discipline and Academic Misconduct Rules . Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Expectations Curtin students are expected to have reliable internet access in order to connect to OASIS email and learning systems such as Blackboard and Library Services. You may also require a computer or mobile device for preparing and submitting your work. If you are having technical difficulties submitting your assessment (e.g. via Blackboard/Turnitin) please contact HUM - EDLTS@curtin.edu.au with your student ID, Unit Code and the details of the assessment you are trying to submit.

Additional information Enrolment It is your responsibility to ensure that your enrolment is correct - you can check your enrolment through the eStudent option on OASIS, where you can also print an Enrolment Advice. Assessment Extension 1. Students are entitled to apply for assessment extensions where they cannot complete an assessment task, but they must meet two separate elements: exceptional circumstances and beyond the student’s control (see 2.6 of the Extensions policy in the Assessment & Student Progression Manual). Assessment extensions must be exceptional, and should not be requested habitually. Pre - existing conditions, in and of themselves, are not considered exceptional. 2. Where an approved extension is granted student access to the unit Blackboard will remain. Please be aware that teaching ceases on the official published end date of the period of study. 3. The University has an obligation under Australian Occupational Health & Safety legislation to ensure that students are fit to be able to study. The University also has responsibilities to ensure the academic integrity of their courses and units. Where the supporting documentation and/or time requested is substantial, the University retains the right to remove students from studying a unit. Further information about assessment extensions is available https://students.connect.curtin.edu.au/app/assessment_extension . Student Support Learning Centre Comprehensive support for many aspects of students’ learning is offered through face to face and online resources via the Learning Centre. https://libguides.library.curtin.edu.au/uniskills English language support This website has been designed to support students whose first language is not English. The Curtin University English language support website contains English language resources, activities, support information, and links to diagnostic assessment tests. https://students.curtin.edu.au/study - support/english/ Counselling All Curtin students are entitled to access Curtin Counseling for free, confidential and professional services.
