This is an integrated unit which prepares Pre-Service Teachers for the Assistant Teacher Program (ATP) by developing professional knowledge, particularly of the planning and evaluation processes relevant to the ATP. The ATP in the Bachelor of Education (Secondary) is an extended Professional Experience in a secondary school lasting for 9 weeks. The Pre-Service Teacher assumes the role of an Assistant Teacher, and has the opportunity to further acquire and refine teaching skills and to function as an autonomous teacher. In most instances, Assistant Teachers will teach in their major and minor teaching areas. Designated unit: This professional experience 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 pass 4 units from PPA3211, EDU1009, EDU1010, EDU2110 as well as EDU2231 and 2 Minor Curriculum Studies units, i.e. MUE2125 and MUE3120, or MUE3105 and MUE4105, or AED3211 and AED3311, or DSE3110 and DSE3210, or SCE3121 and SCE3122, or HSS3110 and HSS3213, or MSE3101 and MSE3102, or HEE2312 and HEE2313, or LAN3250 and LAN3251, or DTE2110 and DTE3110, or CED4261 and CED4262, or CSE3151 and CSE3152, or OED3100 and OED3200, or HPE3101 and HPE3201, or DCE3101 and DCE3102

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 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 Experience. 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 experience placement may result in a Fail grade for this unit.
