This course is one in the sequence of professional experience designed to develop students' competencies as professional teachers. It comprises a supervised teaching experience of 15 days in a Secondary location. By this Professional Experience placement, Pre-Service Teachers (PSTs) are in the final year of their teaching degree, and have up to 30 days experience in planning, teaching and assessing in their major and minor discipline areas. They have completed their teaching methodology studies and have started to identify as professional teachers. PSTs, following discussions with their School Mentor Teacher, negotiate teaching and learning tasks; receive and reflect on critical and meaningful feedback; and systematically inquire into their own and others¿ teaching practice so as to learn more about the complexities of learning about teaching, through teaching. An essential aspect of their learning is the development of a professional relationship with the Mentor Teacher/s (MT). It is anticipated that the MT/s will share their experience with PSTs and through feedback, provide ongoing guidance. University based pre placement seminars will augment students' exploration of their professional learning and post placement session will be undertaken to reflect on the professional experience and assist in developing future learning goals.
