The Internship Program enables final year Pre-Service Teachers to fulfill a diversity of roles and to familiarise themselves more thoroughly with some of the tasks and duties of in-service teachers in a secondary school. This unit comprises three days a week in a school, during which time students complete academic work and some specific projects that involve working both with secondary students and with several professional mentors. A reflective e-portfolio is consistently kept throughout the internship experience. The central focus of this unit of study is on the design, implementation, and reporting of School based Professional Learning (SPL). The SPL articulates the development of educational practice whilst on internship at a school. The unit concludes with a seminar where students share what they have learned on the internship experience, specifically related to AITSL Professional Standards for Teachers 5,6 and 7.
Students will be a scholar in residence at the placement school for three days per week. There will be sessions scheduled at the University for their internship induction, and colloquium at the completion of their term at the placement school.
