Course description

This course provides a further introduction to school life through workshops, school visits and a block practicum. Observation of practice will be provided to enable the opportunity for personal development and growth and practice in the design and implementation of units/lessons will also be featured. 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. The professional standards of the Queensland College of Teachers will be introduced. This course is developmental and builds on EDUC1725 and EDUC2722 and provides a basis for the subsequent courses, EDUC3724 and EDUC4724. The course will also build on and incorporate knowledge developed across the first and second years of the Bachelor of Education program. Students are required to complete 5 single days and a 2 week block practicum in schools.
