Content
This unit introduces students to the nature of learning, teaching and the teaching profession. It considers major theoretical approaches to children’s individual learning, development and characteristics which will enable a critical perspective on the complexities of teaching.
As students transition toward becoming a teacher, they will consider how assumptions and beliefs associated with learning and teaching translate to the classroom. The unit will require students to individually and collaboratively consider teaching and learning within the context of the broader purposes of schooling. Students will be introduced to the Professional Portfolio where they will begin to collect evidence of their on-going professional learning.
Students are introduced to aspects of professional experience and make links to the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL) standards. Through observation and reflection, students will consider how these standards may guide classroom practice.
