The first is up to seven weeks of in-depth study of learning theories, literature and quality pedagogical approaches. The second component consists of 10 days of professional experience in a relevant educational setting. Pre-service teachers will undertake specific assessable activities, including personal reflection, planning and teaching that align to the theoretical focus provided. In-school experience - 10 days of professional experience including a 2 week block (Monday to Friday) including five learning experiences planned and taught.
