Students undertake general lessons across a range of curriculum areas and are responsible for classroom management in collaboration with the mentor teacher. Professional experience and the role played by the mentor teacher are crucial in the overall development of the teaching skills and understandings of the pre-service teacher. Pre-service teachers for Professional Experience Primary C will be assessed as Readiness to Teach.Professional Experience is a Compulsory Professional Requirement.
