Description

This course will introduce Primary Initial Teacher Education Students (ITES) to approaches for designing integrated curriculum that they will implement using multi-level pedagogies during a 40-day block of full time professional experience in a school setting. During their professional experience opportunity, ITES will demonstrate their attainment of Graduate Teacher Standards and have an opportunity to engage in student sport, playground supervision, faculty/grade/stage meetings and school activities and functions, as required. ITES will reflect upon, and produce a Teacher Performance Assessment (NTPA), their professional learning during the program with a particular focus on one of the program’s overall learning themes. They will learn about how to integrate curriculum, explore the legal, social and ethical responsibilities associated with being a member of the teaching profession. This course allows reflection on and consideration of their responsibility as participants in local, national and global teaching communities.
