The on campus component of this unit prepares graduate pre-service teachers to engage in a professional practice in a school setting. This includes core lectures, assessment tasks and a range of guest lecturers who are industry specialists. The Third Professional Practice provides graduate pre-service teachers with an opportunity to apply knowledge and skills gained in the second professional practice and to further consolidate the connection between theory and practice. Graduate pre-service teachers plan and prepare appropriate learning activities which demonstrate an advanced and integrated understanding of the developmental needs and interests of the children in their class. This unit gives the graduate pre-service teacher an opportunity for continuous planning, teaching and assessment as they gradually assume responsibility for the learning program in the classroom. It allows the graduate pre-service teacher the opportunity to master the teaching skills required to function as an autonomous practitioner. Graduate pre-service teachers will be required to adhere to the School of Education's Professional Practice Rules and Procedures and Code of Professional Conduct. They will attend the placement on a full-time basis for the duration of the practicum period. They are required to hold a current Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check (NCCHC) and Working with Children Check (WWC) before commencing their practicum. This is a designated unit.

The teaching and learning processes in this unit model participatory and co-operative learning strategies used by effective learners. Graduate Pre-service Teachers are expected to participate in all lectures, workshops, tutorials and/or online teaching and learning processes. Graduate Pre-service Teachers who do not meet the minimum requirements for attendance and engagement may have their placement withdrawn. Graduate Pre-service Teachers who find themselves in a personal situation where they are unable to participate should discuss the matter with their Unit Coordinator. Unit information is available to Graduate Pre-service Teachers via the unit Blackboard Site. The Department of Education Western Australia and cooperating non-government schools/centres have the right to determine fit and proper persons to enter and practise in schools/centres. For these reasons, all Graduate Pre-service Teachers 18 years of age and over will be required to have a current 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 period of Professional Practice. Graduate Pre-service Teachers must pass the assessments for the practicum in order to pass the unit. This is a designated unit, defined in the University’s Admission, Enrolment and Academic Progress Rules as: a unit or unit of competency which a School Board has designated as a fundamental course requirement and may only be attempted once, unless otherwise decided by the relevant Board of Examiners. It involves a professional practice experience. Admission, Enrolment and Academic Progress Rule 4.9.6 states: Where a student has failed a Designated Unit, the student shall be excluded from the course unless otherwise determined by the Board of Examiners, and the student's academic progression status will be excluded. To demonstrate professionalism and respect for industry partners, students must abide by the professional standards set out in the ECU Student Charter and comply with the university policies and rules. School Professional Practice agreements dictate that the Graduate Pre-service Teachers will attend the placement on a full time basis and meet the attendance requirements of the particular placement. The student is to supply a medical certificate for any absences. Where absences exceed twenty per cent of the scheduled Professional Practice, progress in the Professional Practice will be determined by the relevant academic staff member after consultation with relevant school personnel. Graduate Pre-service Teachers can be withdrawn from the school and the Professional Practice terminated at the request of the host school. This termination will result in a Fail grade for this unit. Graduate Pre-service Teachers can be withdrawn from the school by the Associate Dean (Primary). This will result in a Fail grade for the unit.
