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.
