This subject uses a collaborative workplace learning approach, immersing students in educational settings for three days per week during the semester. Working collaboratively with school-based teacher educators, student teachers critically examine and explore teaching and learning. Students will develop knowledge base and practices for collecting, analysing and interpreting information about teaching and learning, including student feedback and work samples. These cycles of systematic inquiry will have as their dual focus the continuing professional development of the student teacher and improved learning outcomes for all students.

Learning Objectives:

examine and critically analyse a range of teaching and management incidents from multiple perspectives;

demonstrate repertoires of practice, including workplace literacy practices;

collaborate with school-based teachers and peers to develop and evaluate teaching strategies as part of establishing a commitment to career long learning.

Assessment by school-based project and presentation (50%); in-class review and analysis of critical incidents (50%); completion of performance based assessment and required attendance.
