Description:

This unit involves the undertaking of a professional experience placement in a school/centre.

The unit takes the form of distributed days and a two-week block.

 

Each year students must undertake professional experience. The assessment criteria for each of the outcomes listed becomes incrementally more complex over the four successive professional experiences. This reflects the development of teacher competence.
