EDMAS6128 Engaging Professionally 3
This unit is the third in a suite of courses designed to enable pre-service teachers (PSTs) to critically attend to, participate in and experience, the many facets of professional engagement in teaching. PSTs create and experience a professional learning community where learning is enhanced through social processes, dialogue and personal reflection. Communication will take place on campus and in online environments. In small groups guided by a learning mentor, PSTs will critically examine teaching and learning experiences in schools or early childhood settings and make complex connections to prior learning. They will focus on bigger picture issues such as the emotional work of teachers, the changing culture of schooling and school improvement issues as well as their own personal questions, investigations and insights. Pre-service teachers will prepare an evidence-based professional portfolio that will form the basis of their assessment and will receive feedback from multiple sources. They will also learn how to apply for teaching positions in schools or early childhood settings.
