Brief description of the Unit

This unit, which will expand students' competencies as professional teachers, supports a fifteen day supervised teaching experience in an educational setting or educational program. It is designed to encourage, inspire and challenge Pre-Service Teachers (PSTs) to explore alternative learning settings in which good educational practice occurs. The placement is underpinned by the intention to extend the PSTs’ perceptions of teaching and learning beyond the traditional and familiar educational environment.

Students are required to complete the activities outlined in Professional Experience Assessment Report (Form A). This will take place in collaboration with their Mentor in the education setting in which the placement occurs. The students will also document their professional learning in the Professional Experience Pre Service Teacher Learning Log (Form B).
