EDMAS6205 Professional Learning Community - Reflecting on Practice
This course is designed to enable pre-service teachers to 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 pre-service teachers will critically examine teaching and learning experiences in schools 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.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $1,157
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $1,157
* 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.
