This core component of the BEd(Primary) course is offered in each year through placement with approved supervisors in designated schools. All subjects are compulsory and offered at standard subject level.
The sequence for students enrolling in 1996 is arranged within four subjects School Experience 1, 2, 3 and 4. Normally these subjects will be taken concurrently with the Education subjects of the designated year.
The School Experience placements are arranged by the School Experience and Professional Practice Unit. Teachers in schools associated with the Faculty, and staff from a number of teaching departments, are involved in the conduct of the subjects. The dates for School Experience periods are shown in the Schedule in the School Experience and Professional Practice Handbook.
Criteria for assessment for each placement are clearly related to the objectives of the course, the developing abilities of the student and the intended outcomes of the Education and Learning Areas subjects. All subjects require the student to demonstrate teaching capability and appropriate involvement in the life of the school as an associate member of staff.
Final assessment in a subject will use a process in which supervising teachers and Faculty staff will make progressive assessment of a student's work and professional development and will have discussed these assessments with students at critical phases of the placement.
The sequence for students enrolling prior to 1996 is arranged within four subjects School Studies A, School Experience B, C and D and is linked with the professional studies sequence offered through School Studies B, C and D subjects. School Experience C (460-312) is available in 1996 for DipTeach(Primary) students who require 100 days of school experience completed in three years.
For teachers who have relevant teaching experience and who enrolled for the BEd (Primary) award prior to 1996, the enrolments in School Experience B and C are coded 460-205 (School Experience B91), 460-206 (School Experience B92), 460-313 (School Experience C91) and 460-323 (School Experience C92). This indicates that the subject requirements must be negotiated with School Experience and Professional Practice. These negotiated requirements take account of the nature and recency of the teachers' experience and their current teaching responsibilities. The Faculty reserves the right to obtain evidence of a teacher's competency as a generalist teacher in a primary school.
