Students undertake 20 days (five distributed days and a three-week block) of teaching practice within government and non-government institutions under the guidance of a mentor teacher who provides assistance in planning, delivering and evaluating lessons/activities and classroom management. In addition, lectures and seminars prior to professional practice explore key professional competencies and issues including professional duties, ethical responsibilities, duty of care and social and political policies. The practicum is linked to other semester one and semester two units and assignments and focuses on the application of knowledge and skills acquired in them. -- Course Website
