Description

Students will utilise educational research and policy frameworks as a means of structuring their reflections on their continuing engagement in professional practice contexts. As such, this is a curriculum unit, but it is also strongly identified with and linked to the third year practicum unit PPA3211. Using the AITSL National Standards as a framework, students will reflect on their performance during the School-based Professional Practice, so as to develop their individual goals and work plans in preparation for ATP the following semester.

4. Plan to promote and support student learning in their particular learning area.
5. Use educational research and policy frameworks to reflect on the development and delivery of programmes in community and educational contexts.
