Professional practice in special and inclusive education

This unit affirms and builds on your professional knowledge and theories of pedagogy to develop and upgrade the practical skills needed to function as effective inclusive teachers. You will undertake a number of practical activities that allow you to apply attitudes and knowledge developed across the inclusion and special education program. The activities include developing necessary resources to effectively teach learners with different learning needs, effectively teach learners in a variety of settings and work effectively with carers, paraprofessionals and other key stakeholders. For administrative purposes, if you are registered to teach in Australia and seeking professional registration as a special educator, you will have your placement facilitated through EDF5699 (Extended teaching practice), and should enrol concurrently in that unit.
