Anti-requisite(s): 013453 Professional Experience: Teacher Performance Assessment
Description
This is the final professional experience subject and includes a 20-day internship where pre-service teachers take responsibility for lesson planning and teaching a class-cohort in a primary school. Pre-service teachers are supervised by an experienced in-service teacher who prepares an assessment report about the students’ achievement of AITSL/NESA graduate teaching standards. The external supervisor does not recommend grades or marks; instead, either an ungraded Pass or Fail. In the coursework component, pre-service teachers are required to prepare a Teaching Performance Assessment portfolio, which is developed and implemented by a consortium of Australian higher education providers that have Initial Teacher Education (ITE) faculties or schools. Four elements have been designed, trialled and consequently refined, to generate an assessment instrument that represents a robust, comprehensive and authentic series of tasks that reflect teaching. The four elements are:
Element 1: Planning for learning and teaching
Element 2: Analysing teaching practice
Element 3: Assessing for impact on student learning
Element 4: Expanding practice.
