Course overview
This course is designed to support preservice teachers to be successful in the Graduate Teacher Performance Assessment (GTPA) and the final placement in their program. Preservice teachers will draw on knowledge and skills from across their program as they engage in cycles of planning, teaching, assessing, reflecting and appraising growth in learning. These cycles will inform preservice teachers’ inquiries into practice during placement and the completion of the GTPA. On placement, preservice teachers will undertake the teaching load of a graduate teacher and demonstrate that they are performing at the graduate level of the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers.
