EEBED2115 Professional Experience 2: Primary
This course is the first in a sequence of four courses of professional experience designed to develop students' competencies as professional teachers. It comprises a paired and supervised teaching experience of 15 days in a primary school. During this placement, Pre Service Teachers (PSTs) will connect and extend the coursework undertaken at university by engaging in practical and constructive experiences in a variety of learning settings that can include rural, regional and urban localities. University based pre-placement seminars will augment students' exploration of their professional learning and post-placement sessions will be undertaken to reflect on the professional experience and assist in developing future learning goals. Professional Pairs teaching is a practice whereby PSTs form teaching partnerships and systematically inquire into their own and others¿ teaching practice to explore learning about teaching, through teaching. PSTs, following discussions with their Mentor Teacher (MT), negotiate teaching and learning tasks; provide each other with critical and meaningful feedback; share workloads and explore teaching through an inquiry lens.
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: $578
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $578
* 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.
