Professional Experience

People use a variety of names when referring to practice teaching in schools. Some of these are: "the practicum"; "school experience"; "teaching rounds";"teaching practice" or "field experience".

No matter what people call it, school experience involves a number of people working together to ensure student teachers develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes to demonstrate beginning teacher competencies.

The Professional Experience Office is located on the Melbourne Burwood Campus and Geelong Waurn Ponds Campus and Warrnambool campus.
