About this Unit
In 2015 this unit replaced by 102140 Engaging in the Profession. Students need to have a variety of experiences that are set in the context of their future profession. Through these experiences they need to draw together, as a capstone, all the previous units in the course, integrating them through a well balanced program that allows the students to refine their skills as beginning teachers. This gives them opportunity to reflect on the processes involved, identify their competencies and assist the school by recognising potential issues and assisting in implementation of the resulting praxis. This unit includes all areas of foundations and curriculum preparing students for a final practicum experience (Professional Practice 4) that will show the interrelationship between theory and practice. It also addresses issues that assist in the development of the individual student toward their transition into teaching.
