EDMAS6228 Engaging professional 3
This unit is the third in a suite of units 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 re¿ection. PSTs will critically examine teaching and learning experiences in professional placement settings and make 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. This unit supports PSTs professional experience in the Master of Teaching course in which PSTs complete 35 days in an education setting. Students are required to complete the activities outlined in Professional Experience Assessment Report (Form A). This will take place in collaboration with their school-based Mentor Teacher in the education setting in which the placement occurs (as indicated below). The students will also document their professional learning in the Professional Experience Pre Service Teacher Learning Log (Form B) supported by their assigned University Mentor.
