Course description

40 days consisting of supervised practicum and internship. The practicum builds on Introduction to Professional Practice and broadens opportunities for purposeful supervised experiences to develop pre-service teachers' understandings of themselves as teachers, the students they will teach, the contexts in which they will teach, and the teaching/learning process. It enables students to move from high levels of support to practice that is both autonomous and collaborative, refining and extending their knowledge about teaching in secondary school contexts.

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.

To obtain permission to enrol in this course:

1. Complete and submit the Professional Experience Form when directed

2. Wait for email of notification of the outcome of your request

3. If accepted, log-in to mySI-net and add the course to your enrolment as soon as you receive the email or as soon as enrolments open, whichever occurs first.

You will not be added to the list of students requiring a placement until you have added the course to your enrolment, therefore it is advisable to seek permission as soon as you receive notification that the Professional Experience Preference form is available. Late enrolment (any time up to 4 weeks prior to, or any time after, commencement of the course) may not be accepted.
