ETL507 Professional Experience and Portfolio (8)
Abstract
This subject comprises the supervised workplace experiences within the Master of Education (Teacher Librarianship) course and the completion of the reflective portfolio. The subject will develop an understanding of the nature of professional learning in teacher librarianship and assist students to assemble and analyse evidence of their own learning and professional development through a portfolio approach. Students will then collect and reflect on their learning through selected assignments throughout the course, as well as their study visits and placements. This is the capstone subject of the course, and should be undertaken by students after completing all or most of the other subjects in the course.
