EEBED4114 Professional Experience 4
This course is the fourth in a sequence of four courses of professional experience designed to develop students' competencies as professional teachers. It comprises an extended supervised teaching experience block of 30 days in a primary school (P-6) or either a primary or a secondary school (p-10). It is during this course that PSTs can most readily incorporate teaching experiences. During the 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 havenot previously been experienced and often include a specialty area. PSTs explore more deeply the complexities of teaching and learning through their own and the supervisors practice; plan and teach lessons, develop learning activities and assessment tasks and systematically reflect on how past teaching experiences compare with teaching in the school setting. It is expected that by the final 3 weeks of this placement, PSTs will be assuming a role similar to that of fully qualified beginning teachers, including taking full responsibility for the planning and teaching of a full days program to the whole class. 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 finalise the documented evidence of professional practice, professional knowledge and professional engagement as articulated in the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers (Graduate Level).
