EPT329 Working Within The Community (8)
Abstract
The predominant space for learning in this subject is the professional experience placement. The teaching placement will involve up to 30 days in a secondary school under the supervision of an associate teacher. Pre-service teachers will build on the pedagogical knowledge and skills gained through previous classroom experiences and study. A key focus will be progression toward attaining the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers at the graduate level. This progress will be reflected upon and documented with supporting evidence in a portfolio prior to, during, and after the professional experience placement.
In preparation for the professional placement, this subject will explore the benefits, challenges, and skills needed for fostering positive communication and educational partnerships with young people, parents and families within communities. The professional experience will enable pre-service teachers to observe interactions between school, home and community contexts, and recognise the pivotal role of education to the wellbeing of children, families and communities. |
