Engaging Professionally 1 | Federation University

EDMAS6026 Engaging Professionally 1

This unit is designed to provide Pre-Service Teachers (PSTs) with an introduction to the teaching profession. PSTs learn about the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers and how the Standards can guide ongoing professional learning. PSTs learn about the importance of meeting professional ethics, complying with legislative requirements, and they grow to understand the different roles and responsibilities of contemporary teachers. PSTs engage in professional learning communities and appreciate the skills and dispositions required for effective professional learning, including the capacity to reflect critically on practice. They engage a range of thinking skills to examine dilemmas, challenges and changes in the profession. This unit includes five days of professional experience and supports PSTs to understand the role of professional teaching networks and connections to community.

2026 contribution amount* $592
2026 grandfathered contribution amount^ $592

^ If you are a continuing student who commenced your course before 1 January 2021, you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented, for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.

* For Psychology and Social Work bands the unit fee amount is determined by accredited courses. Students in Postgraduate Clinical Psychology, Professional Pathway Psychology or Professional Pathway Social Work accredited courses should refer to the information below.
