The internship is an exciting opportunity for final year Pre-Service Teachers to experience a more extended professional practice in a school setting. The Primary internship enables final year Pre-Service Teachers to fulfill a diversity of roles and/or assume increasing responsibility for the tasks and duties normally performed by employees in an approved context that may include school, community or industry. This unit comprises a series of distributed days/weeks as well as a block of full-time professional experience. This unit provides opportunities for Pre-Service Teachers to engage in designing and implementing an Action Learning Project (ALP) as well as participate in a leadership development opportunity (LO). Through engaging in this process Pre-Service Teachers will be able to apply and further develop cognitive, creative and technical skills to new situations in a Primary professional experience context and provide further evidence of meeting the AITSL Australian Professional Standards for Teachers at the graduate level. The nature of the individually designed project and leadership opportunity will be determined by negotiations between the Pre-Service Teacher, school and Unit Coordinator.
All students must participate in on-campus classes up to 10 days, which will be held at the Mount Lawley Campus or via virtual connection during the internship.
Must have passed WPL6335.
Unit was previously coded EDU6227.
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
Students will engage in learning experiences through ECUs LMS as well as additional ECU l
Work done in an actual workplace in which the student applies discipline-specific knowledge and skills, supervised by an industry professional separate from an ECU campus or location.
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 Code of Conduct and comply with the applicable University policies and 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 Experience. The host School/Centre has absolute discretion to terminate the Pre-Service Teacher's 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 experience placement may result in a Fail grade for this unit.
