Professional experience is the central component of all pre-service teacher education programs. Professional Experience 2 is the final course in a preservice teaching program, done concurrently with or after all other core courses. All pre-service teachers complete 8 weeks of university-based classes before and after a 6-week (30 day) professional experience block in a NSW school. The placement begins with 3 days of structured observation followed by 27 days of supervised teaching, teaching one half of a teacher’s normal load. Professional Experience 2 allows pre service teachers to achieve the 7 national standards for a graduate teacher. It aims to develop a strong commitment, enthusiasm and respect for the teaching professions and encourages pre-service teachers to engage with the broader community.
Note: Professional Experience 2 occurs at the times specified by the School of Education. In order to arrange timely professional experience placements, pre-service teachers must log in to the School of Education’s online placement system and enter requested information no later than week 8 of the previous semester.
