Content
This unit aims to deepen students’ understandings and develop the skills needed to be a member of the profession. It has three foci. One will address professional ethical issues, collegiality, parent partnerships and relationships with community. In another part, students will learn essential professional knowledge for the beginning teacher. This will include organisational and record keeping requirements of early childhood settings and schools, legal requirements of teachers, and general useful information about early childhood settings and schools as institutional work sites and as elements of systems. The third part, which may be undertaken jointly with other trimester units, will be a small, reflective-practice research project. This project aims to demonstrate the student’s capacity to research their own teaching practices, critically reflect on processes trialled, with the aim of furthering their skills in planning and assessing for student learning.
Assessment
Online assessment task: legal responsibilities and analysis of ethical dilemma (60%)
