Content
This unit is a capstone experience where preservice teachers examine teachers’ work and align these practices to the relevant professional standards. Using the skills of inquiry required by a teacher-researcher to gather evidence, document, analyse and reflect on practice preservice teachers will independently investigate and examine the role of the teacher and professional standards in early years/primary/secondary contexts.
Preservice teachers will select key teaching, learning and assessment artefacts and build their professional portfolio to evidence impact on learning with a focus on assessment. The unit requires critical reflection in and on the professional practice of teaching through critical engagement in teacher-research, professional learning and communication with members of the profession and the wider school community and/or early years setting.
