EDF5837 Introduction to teaching

This unit offers an introduction to education as a profession, and supports you with foundational knowledge, skills and understandings as you embark on teaching as a profession. You will build your professional skills, knowledge and understandings of teaching through a process of personal inquiry, exploration of exemplary practices and compliance with requirements through a range of structures, educative frameworks and models that support, inform or regulate practice. As a result of this work, you will develop a deeper understanding of the connection between professional codes of conduct, school policies, your classroom practices and student learning. Your ongoing professional learning needs will be explored through examination of the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers.
