This course is the fourth in a sequence of four courses of professional experience designed to develop students' competencies as professional teachers. It comprises an extended supervised teaching experience block of 30 days in a primary/Special Education school (P-6) or either a primary or a secondary school (p-10). It occurs after a series of nonassessed days designed to introduce the Pre Service Teachers (PSTs) to the School's pedagogies, philosophy and culture. During the placement PSTs will connect and extend the coursework undertaken at university by engaging in practical and constructive experiences. PSTs explore more deeply the complexities of teaching and learning through their own and the supervisor¿s practice; plan and teach lessons, develop learning activities and assessment tasks and systematically reflect on how past teaching experiences compare with teaching in the school setting. As the year progresses, PSTs take on the role similar to that expected of beginning teachers. By the end of this placement, the PSTs should apply knowledge and skills as set out below and in consideration of the Professional Teaching Standards and in line with the Graduate Teacher Performance Assessment (GTPA). All evidence will support the Round Table Conference which occurs in Term 4 and is the opportunity for PSTs to present their growth and learning. University based pre placement seminars will augment students' exploration of their professional learning and post placement sessions will be undertaken to reflect on the professional experience and finalise the documented evidence of professional practice, professional knowledge and professional engagement as articulated in the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers (Graduate Level).
