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 20-day block practicum. 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 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.
