This unit involves a final professional experience placement in a school/centre and includes an on-campus preparation component prior to the placement. Successful completion of on-campus tasks is a pre-requisite for the practicum. 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 8 weeks. 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. Designated unit: This practicum unit is deemed to be a fundamental course requirement and may only be attempted once unless otherwise determined by Board of Examiners. Failure to pass these units may result in exclusion from the course.
Generally, host Schools and Centres require that the pre-service teachers attend the placement on a full-time basis and otherwise meet their specific attendance requirements of the particular placement. There is limited scope for ECU to negotiate any deviations from these requirements.
Students must have passed PPA3260, EDU3265, MAE3270, SCE3240, and LAN3280 or LAN2260.

The teaching and learning processes in this unit model participatory and co-operative learning strategies used by effective learners. Pre-Service Teachers are expected to participate in all lectures, workshops, tutorials and/or online teaching and learning processes. During the placement, it is imperative that Pre-Service Teachers demonstrate professionalism and respect for industry partners at all times. Pre-Service Teachers must abide by the professional standards set out in the ECU Student Code of Conduct and comply with the applicable University policies and rules. All Pre-Service Teachers 18 years of age and over will be required to have a current Department of Education Nationally Coordinated Criminal History check (NCCHC) and a current Working with Children Check, or the equivalent clearance issued by the relevant State authority before commencing this Professional Practice. The host School/Centre has absolute discretion to terminate the Pre-Service Teachers placement prior to completion of the placement. Situations where this discretion has been exercised are typically where the School/Centre has had concerns about Pre-Service Teacher's conduct or performance. ECU may also withdraw a Pre-Service Teacher from placement in certain circumstances. Early termination or withdrawal from the professional practice placement may result in a Fail grade for this unit.
