General Information

Overview

In this unit, you will develop practical knowledge of planning, teaching and assessment practices and strategies for establishing, managing and maintaining safe and supportive learning environments in preparation for a four-week block professional experience placement in an educational setting (a school setting for Master of Teaching Primary and Secondary and a kindergarten setting for Master of Teaching Early Childhood). During your placement, you will work under the direct supervision of an experienced teacher and complete the observation, reflection and practical teaching tasks outlined in the Information and Guidelines booklet for Professional Praxis 2. Throughout this unit, you will evaluate approaches to managing challenging behaviours and guiding on-task learning behaviour and apply your understanding of preventative, supportive and corrective management strategies and theories of motivation, relationship building and engagement to design a classroom management plan that supports the safety, inclusion and self-regulation of all learners. You will apply this knowledge during your placement to set learning goals that are responsive to student needs and to plan, teach, modify and assess student learning in lessons and learning sequences. Following the placement, you will evaluate the impact of your planning, teaching and management decisions on student learning and engagement through analysis of artefacts selected from your working portfolio, critical reflection on your teaching practice and feedback received during your placement using the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers (Graduate Level).
