Bachelor of Education (Technology and Applied Studies)

Workplace learning

The first professional experience component of this course involves an 18-day professional experience program where students engage with issues of teaching and learning, behaviour management, planning and assessment, while working closely with a peer.

There are then three additional blocks of workplace learning in the course, totalling 80 days of professional experience placements. There is also a work placement in a related industry totalling 70 hours.

In undertaking the professional experience placements, students need to be mindful of relevant protocols that are explained on the PEP website. Students should not make arrangements for placements prior to discussions with staff in the Professional Experience Office.

Anaphylaxis training for all initial teacher education students

The NSW Institute of Teachers now requires that all initial teacher education students have training in anaphylaxis. In order to meet this requirement, ALL students must complete the training module found at http://etraining.allergy.org.au. The online module takes approximately one hour to complete.

On successful completion of the online module, participants will receive a certificate of completion. A copy of this certificate must be attached to your application for your professional experience placement. The NSW Institute suggests that students also present a copy of their certificate of completion to principals at the commencement of their professional experience placements. The training must be successfully undertaken every two years and students will need to ensure that their certificate of completion is current.

The NSW Department of Education and Communities advises that students who do not successfully complete this training, as verified by the university, will not be able to undertake professional experience activities in NSW public schools.


National Criminal Record Check

Students may be required to undergo a criminal record check and/or complete a Prohibited Employment Declaration under the Child Protection Act 1998 as part of professional experience requirements. These checks are intended to identify people who might, because of convictions for such things as violence or sexual offences, put students/clients' personal safety or health at risk. Traffic violations and other minor offences are not of interest.

As such, prospective students should be aware that an inability to obtain a criminal record clearance or complete a Prohibited Employment Declaration may limit practicum opportunities in some organisations and industries. Furthermore, criminal convictions involving violence or sexual offences may limit continued enrolment in a course and/or employment opportunities after completing the course.

If you have any queries regarding these matters, including the opportunities available for review of a particular case, contact the Course Director.
