Synopsis
The purpose of this first year course is to introduce pre-service teachers to the professional practice of teaching. It provides pre-service teachers with an understanding of the requirements of the Code of Conduct for teachers, expected ethical behaviour, planning for learning in a specific discipline, and the legal requirements of a practising teacher within a secondary school context. As a foundation for a career in secondary education, this course provides an opportunity for professional engagement within educational environments. Based on the research and the implications for how students learn, pre-service teachers design and justify their approach to teaching the content relevant to their discipline area. Pre-service teachers are provided with an opportunity to reflect on their personal capacity and suitability to teach.
