The Internship Program has a vastly different emphasis from the Assistant Teacher Program (ATP) professional experience placement. The Internship assists to develop a deeper level of understanding of the complexity of school culture and what it means to be a committed graduate teacher. This may look different across settings as schools and early learning centres may use an Intern in one classroom, across classrooms or to develop a specific project to implement.
The Intern’s relationship with staff will progress to that of a colleague engaged in professional learning. There is a strong emphasis on independent learning, whilst supported by experienced staff from the school/early learning centre and University.
