Course description

Teaching is a multi-faceted profession. Becoming a teacher requires commitment and dedication to lifelong learning and personal growth through reflection. This course provides a further introduction to school life through workshops and school visits and a 15 day practicum. Observation of practice will be provided to enable the opportunity for personal development and growth. Furthermore, practice in the design and implementation of units/lessons will also be a feature of this course. Therefore the focus of this course is on the development of sequences of lessons with further development of observation skills and understanding the importance of communication in a school context. During this course, the professional standards of the Queensland College of Teachers will be introduced. This course is developmental and builds on EDUC1715 and EDUC2712 and provides a basis for the subsequent courses, EDUC3714 and EDUC4714. The course will also build on and incorporate knowledge developed across the first and second years of the Bachelor of Education program.
