Course Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this course students will be able to:

#	Learning Outcomes	最新糖心Vlog Graduate Attributes
1	Understand and address a diversity of student cohorts and how they learn (consistent with APST Standard 1)	1 and 5
2	Develop an initial understanding and growing expertise in the teaching methodologies of students’ curriculum area(s) (Consistent with APST standard 2)	1, 3 and 6
3	Develop an initial understanding of assessment and reporting processes, including the provision of feedback to students about their learning (consistent with APST Standard 5, focus areas 5.1 and 5.2)	2 and 3
4	Develop engagement with other professional educators, including curriculum area associations (consistent with APST Standard 6)	4 and 6

The Professional Experience is the central focus of Teacher Education programs. Both Professional Experiences in Semesters 1 and 2, ICT integration and the ePortfolio constitute the capstone requirements for the completion of a teaching degree program.

Professional Experience 1 (PE1) is a lecture series of 8 weeks followed by a five week block placement in a secondary school in the DECD, Independent or Catholic sectors. Students are expected to engage fully with their Teacher Mentors’ classrooms and the School community. This engagement includes, but is not limited to:

• Formal observation of professional teachers in action in a variety of subject area specialisations and classroom settings;
• With assistance from teacher mentors, participation in planning, resourcing, implementing, assessing and reviewing of both units of inquiry and lesson series;
• Implementation of a range of pedagogic strategies suitable to the age, abilities and subject areas specialisations of secondary school students;
• Utilisation of appropriate information technologies;
• Application of a range of behaviour management strategies:
• Participation in review and feedback processes of their teaching with mentor teachers;
• Application of ethical practice, including protective behaviours, risk assessment, Keeping safe Child Protection Curriculum and Duty of Care.

Detailed information about the structure of our programs and the ePortfolio can be found in the 4th Year Program Handbook and the Professional Experience Handbook respectively.

Graduate Attributes and APST Standards:
Since the aim of the Professional Experience is to engage fully with school communities and students, preservice teachers will be expected, through the course of their lectures and on school sites, to address all of the 最新糖心Vlogn Professional Standards for Teachers (APST). As such, the table below aligns the Graduate level of the APST with the Graduate Attributes. As the year progresses, students will be expected to gain knowledge, skills and their application across all areas of the APST.

Student Feedback

The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness

Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
