About this Unit
The unit is only offered to students enrolled in the Bachelor of Education (Primary) Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education program. This unit is a 10 credit point unit. The unit is designed to enable students to have direct experience of teaching in schools, building towards a final professional experience. The Professional Experience stream integrates with the curriculum content and pedagogy delivered in other course units. The rationale behind this Professional Experience unit is to give students the opportunity to synthesise and apply their knowledge and skills from all previous units for a total of 20 days. The teaching block will enable students to build or cement relationships with a school community. Teacher Education students will be able to consolidate their teaching through the integration of theory and practice as their final preparation as beginning teachers.
