Pre-service teachers will involve themselves in the life of the school and reflect on their practice and performance in discussion with their school supervisor and university staff. In preparation for their placement in schools, pre-service teachers engage with material relating to the primary curriculum, assessment, pedagogy and professional relationships and are prepared to demonstrate competence against ALL the Australian Professional Standards for teachers: Graduate stage and can therefore be deemed ‘Ready to Teach’.


Students who successfully complete this unit will be able to:
1. Prepare and appraise learning experiences using a variety of curriculum documents and resources. Including; Writing detailed and professional learning/teaching plans and reflect upon teaching and learning experiences
2. Design learning environments to ensure safety and to facilitate learning 
3. Demonstrate professional relationships with education professionals and caring and professional relationships with students
4. Critically evaluate curriculum and pedagogical principles in relation to effective teaching and learning.
5. Demonstrate teaching performance, responsibility for the curriculum and professional readiness at an appropriate standard for a graduate teacher
