Developing a Teaching Philosophy for a Teaching Credential

Abstract

A group of recent GDTE graduates, representing both the taught, Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and Independent Learning Pathway (ILP) programmes at Otago Polytechnic, was brought together as a Community of Practice (CoP) to collaborate on an article. Participants in the taught programme had studied a series of courses and included teachers relatively new to tertiary teaching. Two experienced teachers undertook the RPL pathway some course work and some RPL and two other experienced teachers undertook the ILP (CapableNZ).
