Synopsis
In this course, pre-service teachers will be required to seek the authorisation of a host site to undertake a 20 day service learning placement. In all settings, appropriate arrangements for mentoring, supervision and evaluation will be required as part of the process of approval for proposed placements. Pre-service teachers will undertake an action research project. Pre-service teachers will, undertake a range of duties involving the full repertoires of professional practice in which educators engage in schools or the professional community, and conduct of research.
This course expects pre-service teachers to reflect on their prior learning and professional experiences and critically analyse how these inform their personalised frameworks of professional practice. This analysis will lead to the identification and justification of examples of professional practice that demonstrate their capacity as beginning educators. This justification will be framed against a set of recognised professional standards, supported by relevant literature demonstrating an advanced and integrated understanding of the complexities of education, and articulated through the development of a professional e-portfolio.
