Dr I J Mitchell

12 points + Flexible Mode + Clayton + First or Second semester + Prequisites Full time employment in teaching and specified subjects + offered to MTeach students only.

Synopsis: The unit requires students to subject their practice to systematic analysis and reflection over an extended period. During the practicum, students will examine, document and extend their practice via a process of action- research. The practicum will be completed in association with a university supervisor, but will involve collaboration with other students who are also doing the advanced practicum. Students will support each other in regular small group meetings and gain experience in mentoring. An important part of the practicum experience will be developing the ability to capture and communicate their practice to other teachers.

Assessment: Students will have developed their action-research proposal (1,2,3), planned and begun to assemble their portfolio (1,2,3) and completed their case (4). This unit will be assessed as Pass Grade Only
