Synopsis
In this course, pre-service teachers design a sequence of lesson plans and formative assessment tasks that provide learning opportunities to meet the diverse needs of all learners. They develop an understanding of the demands of the teaching profession. For pre-service teachers to gain insight into the complexities of teaching, they investigate influential learning theories and pedagogical models and frameworks. Furthermore, they recognise how the use of effective classroom management skills enables a supportive environment. Professional Experience is positioned towards the end of the semester, providing an opportunity for pre-service teachers to apply the knowledge and skills that are constructed progressively throughout the course.
A 10-day professional experience placement is attached to this course. For full details of the Professional Experience particulars, please refer to the Professional Experience website and the Professional Experience Book.
