In Professional Practice 3, pre-service teachers participate in tutorials, practical workshops and an assessable classroom placement comprising 5 day visits and a 15-day continuous block to enhance their ability to design, adapt and implement teaching sequences that cater for the diverse needs of learners in mainstream classrooms. Students develop understanding of the use of assessment for learning as integral to informed curriculum decision-making and differentiation practices. They apply this knowledge in classroom contexts to modify lesson plans and learning sequences in all curriculum learning areas in response to class profiling data that accurately records the strengths, needs and preferred learning styles of individuals and groups. Students develop formative and summative assessment strategies for monitoring student learning and achieving alignment between curriculum, pedagogy and assessment. Students practise the use of a range of teaching strategies including questioning techniques and the provision of timely descriptive feedback to build effective relationships with learners and improve student outcomes.

Successful completion of the course Professional Practice 3 – Managing the Differentiated Classroom provides opportunities for students to demonstrate aspects of Australian Professional Standards for Teachers at a stage appropriate for a pre-service teacher in the third year of a four year initial teacher education program. Specific assessment indicators that align the tasks and activities completed during the Professional Practice 3 placement with the standards can be found in the Information and Reporting Booklet for this placement. Artefacts, in particular those that demonstrate the ability to differentiate the curriculum for students with a range of abilities and the use of effective assessment practices during the placement, can be added to the e-portfolio as evidence of progress towards demonstrating the standards at Graduate career stage.
