Details for EXP322 Professional Experience

This final primary Professional Experience (PEX) subject involves the Teacher Education Student (TES)
taking full responsibility for a classroom and developing more fully a range of skills, knowledge and
attitudes more closely related to those of beginning teaching. This PEX will be done in an ECEC context
(20-day PEX) or a K- 6 context (30 days PEX), the TES will have full responsibility for observing,
planning, implementing, assessing students and reporting, and evaluating units of work, including
embedding individualised programs for specific school students to support inclusion and diversity. The
TES will consider the gaps and silences evident in discourses about learners and learning and critically
engage with ethical practices for inclusivity. A mandatory requirement of this PEX is that TES submit a
Teacher Performance Assessment (TPA), the details of which are on the Moodle for this placement
and in the A3TPA Guidebook.
