Description

This course is focused on students' knowledge and skills in the areas of professional knowledge and professional practice, particularly in the areas of student learning and classroom management. A key focus is on gathering evidence aligned with the AITSL standards to demonstrate an intermediate understanding of the profession. This course builds on Teach Outreach experiences and observations of teachers, teaching and learning undertaken by students in the First Year of their teacher education program. It also helps students to recognise and understand how coursework/research forms the foundation of high quality teaching and assessment practice by connecting what is studied at university with how that plays out in classrooms and schools.
