About this Unit
This unit provides students with the opportunity to participate in a 20-day professional experience set in the context of their future profession and under the supervision of qualified teachers. As Pre-service Teachers, students will develop an understanding of diverse learners within specific school and classroom contexts. Individual students’ strengths, needs and learning styles will be identified to support the design and delivery of teaching experiences that will enhance engagement and learning. The unit also gives students an opportunity to reflect on the processes involved in the teaching cycle, and refine their competencies as beginning teachers. Students are required to analyse their own learning in relation to the Graduate Teacher Standards as a review of the progress of their Learning Portfolio.
