English in the Early Years of School (3235EDN)

This course is centered on providing students with experience in teaching within the early years of school (prep to year 3). It is framed around the Australian Curriculum English and consists of 15 days of classroom experience. It includes observation and monitoring of children, program planning and decision-making, and teaching and reflecting on practice with an emphasis on the teaching of language, literature and literacies and using the professional standards for teachers (AITSL). Pre-requisite: students must have successfully completed 1999EDN and 2999EDN (with an upper primary year level placement in 2999EDN) before enrolling in 3235EDN. Students must reach an 80% threshold for tutorial attendance and active participation in the lead up to placement for all Professional Experience courses. Students who cannot attend the full tutorial and thus cannot actively participate during the tutorial will not be able to proceed with the placement and complete the course. 3235EDN is a designated course in the Bachelor of Education program. Under Griffith University's Academic Standing, Progression and Exclusion Policy, a student may be eligible for exclusion on the basis of failure in this course.
