Pre-service teacher learning will be enhanced by professional readings and the Teaching Performance Assessment task is designed to further develop pre-service teacher capacity as a teacher researcher and a professional practitioner. There are two streams in this unit: Stream A and Stream B. Stream A is for pre-service teachers who are taking this unit for the first time concurrently with their final practicum unit. Stream A pre-service teachers will collect their data as part of the planning, teaching and assessment cycle on their final professional experience placement. Stream B is for pre-service teachers who are repeating this unit having already successfully passed their final practicum. Stream B pre-service teachers, in order to collect TPA data will need to be placed in a site for a Work Integrated Learning microplacement. The timing of this placement will be reliant on the placement site but will be approximately for 2-3 lessons a week for 4 weeks. If data collection fails to be completed due to a lack of engagement on the part of the pre-service teacher with the planning, teaching and assessing cycle then the pre-service teacher will fail this unit.
