This course is the third in a suite of courses designed to enable pre-service teachers (PSTs) to critically attend to, participate in and experience, the many facets of professional engagement in teaching. PSTs create and experience a professional learning community where learning is enhanced through social processes, dialogue and personal reflection. Communication will take place on campus and in online environments. In small groups guided by a learning mentor, PSTs will critically examine teaching and learning experiences in professional placement settings and make connections to prior learning. They will focus on bigger picture issues such as the emotional work of teachers, the changing culture of schooling and school improvement issues as well as their own personal questions, investigations and insights. They will also learn how to apply for teaching positions. This course supports PSTs professional experience in the Master of Teaching program in which students complete 35 days in an education setting. Students are required to complete the activities outlined in Professional Experience Assessment Report (Form A). This will take place in collaboration with their schoolbased Mentor Teacher in the education setting in which in which the placement occurs (as indicated below). The students will also document their professional learning in Professional Experience Pre Service Teacher Learning Log (Form B) supported by their assigned University Mentor.
