EDCEL2114 Transition to the Profession 1
This unit introduces Pre-Service Teachers (PSTs) to the individual and collective understandings of the education profession. It frames learning within the context of developing practices and knowledge associated with becoming an active and engaged professional teacher. Verbal and non-verbal communication strategies to support student learning and engagement are examined. E¿ective communication strategies to work e¿ectively with the professional learning community and parents/carers are considered. Drawing on the relevant legislative policies, PSTs consider their ethical responsibility to students and describe strategies that support student safety in educational settings. A 15 day professional experience is attached to this unit. During the placement, students will continue to develop skills and knowledge aligned with the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers (APST) through authentic, practical experiences under the guidance of qualified mentors. This placement will be completed in an education setting relevant to the specific student¿s course of study. Throughout the placement, PSTs are required to complete designated professional learning activities in collaboration with their assigned mentors.
