Course description

Becoming a teacher requires commitment and dedication to lifelong professional learning and personal growth through critical reflection. This course provides a further introduction to teaching through workshops and a block placement. Observation of practice will be provided to enable the opportunity to improve practice. Practice in the design and implementation of units/lessons will also be a feature of this course. The focus of this course is on the relationship between the national professional standards for graduate teachers and the work of a teacher. This course is developmental and builds on EDUC7530, providing a basis for the subsequent course, EDUC7540. The course will also build on and incorporate knowledge developed across the first and second semesters of the Master of Teaching (Primary) program. Blue Cards current through the period of the practicum are mandatory.

• As this course contains a professional experience component in a school, students are required to have a valid Blue Card for the duration of the placement.
• 30 days (6 week block) professional experience (except Turn to Teaching Internship Program students, who will complete 20 days (4 week block) professional experience).

For Semester 1, 2025, the mid-semester break for this course will be relocated to university week 8.

NOTE (For Sem 2 offering ONLY): This course runs to the standard Semester 2 calendar for coursework, with the 20 day block professional experience commencing in revision week and concluding one week after Semester 2 central examinations.
