Description

During the Professional Experience Internship students make a full time teaching commitment in a secondary school. Students are required to take responsibility for several classes, including preparation of lessons and associated teaching materials, complete administration and record keeping as required by the school, including school reports, participate fully in the professional obligations of the school such as sporting and co-curricular activities, staff meetings, professional development days and community consultations. Students should demonstrate their knowledge of professional conduct required by the college and the school.

Students plan, implement, evaluate and document a curriculum of ten weeks duration for a selected class. Clinical supervision methods, applied at five weekly intervals, in consultation with their cooperating teacher, identify and address their developing teaching practice.
The Professional Experience Internship requires a synthesis and application of theoretical and practical understandings introduced and examined throughout the course. The Internship is supervised by cooperating teachers and jointly assessed by cooperating teachers and faculty of the School of Art Education.

Students may apply for a variation of program that will entail a placement for the final two to four weeks of the Professional Experience Internship in a museum, cultural, industry, media or community setting. These placements are competitive and subject to the completion of the related Art Education Elective (consult Head of School for conditions) and the approval of the Head of School. Students should consult the lecturer in their elective orientation for further advice.
