Professionalism in Early Childhood Primary
Education

• Grade TBA
• Subject Abstract This subject will provide
  opportunities for students to explore
  professional, ethical and legal responsibilities
  of early childhood and primary teachers. Links
  will be made between this subject and the
  students specialisation practicum/internship
  experiences. Theoretical and practical aspects of
  being a beginning and developing teaching
  professional will underpin all parts of the
  subject.

Primary Internship

• Grade TBA
• Subject Abstract This is the final placement in
  the students four year practicum program.  This
  experience occurs over Term 3 (10 weeks) of the
  school year and provides opportunities for the
  student to demonstrate self-sufficiency and
  independence as a beginning teacher.  Induction
  into the profession is an important element of
  the internship experience.  Placements in
  non-school settings are encouraged for example,
  the Dubbo Zoo, Field Studies Centres and isolated
  Aboriginal communities in the Northern Territory
  and Western Australia.
