Details for EXP215 Professional Experience

Students gain classroom experience during a 10-day placement. This is done in conjunction with EDU322, ‘The Self Reflective Educator’, so that students have the opportunity of directly aligning course work and practice. Students are encouraged to critically reflect on their own philosophy and practice of teaching and consider what has shaped their understandings and how their own spiritual journey and belief system might equip them as educators.
