PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE TASKS:

Teaching goals
Prior to placement, pre-service teachers will use the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers to
frame their personal teaching goals. These goals must be completed and discussed with the Subject
Coordinator prior to the commencement of the placement. The pre-service teacher will need to share
these with the associate teacher and university liaison officer during the two observation days. The
goals will form the basis of the targets for teaching sessions and will be written into lesson plans.
