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 teaching through workshops and a 20-day block practicum. Observation of practice will enable the opportunity for personal development and growth. Practice in the design and implementation of units/lessons will also feature. The focus of this course is on the relationship between the professional standards explicated by the Queensland College of Teachers and the work of a teacher. This course is developmental and builds on EDUC1725, EDUC2722 and EDUC2724, providing a basis for the subsequent course, EDUC4724. The course will build on and incorporate knowledge developed across the first, second and third years of the Bachelor of Education program.

As this course contains a professional experience component in a school it has been permission listed so that academic, pre-service teacher risk assessment and Blue Card status checks can be completed prior to enrolment.
