In this unit, preservice teachers undertake 20 days of professional experience in a preschool under the guidance of a mentor teacher. Preservice teachers will critically reflect on and enact ethical standards and codes of conduct, apply and evaluate teaching, learning and assessment approaches, and examine policy and legal requirements that inform practices in a preschool setting. Preservice teachers will be introduced to the principles and practices of planning for learning in a preschool setting using the Early Years Learning Framework planning cycle and will apply this knowledge to evaluate and develop learning experiences.
