This unit involves the undertaking of a final professional experience placement in a school/centre and includes an on-campus preparation component prior to the placement. During the placement students work under the guidance of mentor teachers while engaging in a process of professional development, and have the opportunity to make well-informed connections between theory and practice. The unit takes the form of an extended block experience for the equivalent of one teaching term.

The assessment criteria are further detailed in the professional experience guidelines appropriate to this professional experience. By the conclusion of the final professional experience students are required to demonstrate the competency level of a beginning teacher.
