Professional Experience Placement Report

Analysing, planning and assessing

This capstone subject draws on teacher education students&#39; cumulative learning from across the coursework components of the degree and includes the final professional experience placement for their course. During this professional experience placement, students will complete a Teaching Performance Assessment (TPA) in which they will demonstrate they have met the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers (APST) at a graduate level. They will also be required to submit evidence of their practice (planning, teaching, assessing and reflecting) and evaluate their impact on school students&#39; learning. In preparation for completing the TPA, students will explore the purposes, methods, strengths and challenges of assessing learning in primary school settings. Students will examine different approaches, skills and practices for assessing, recording and reporting children&#39;s learning. Specific attention is also given to identifying and understanding the challenges and complexities encountered by teachers when assessing and reporting on students&#39; performance and the value of reflection in, on and of practice to improve student learning outcomes.
