Welcome to the first of three ED300 Modules that you will do to successfully complete the course. In this, your first Module, you will complete a three week placement in a school. Quite possibly for many of you this will be your first time back in a school and classroom since you were a student yourself. The Module is designed as an introductory experience where you are to observe and reflect on what you see going on around you in both the classroom and the wider school and its community. You are not required to do any teaching, although you may if required assist your Associate Teachers in the lessons they teach. In this case you shall be interacting with the students and generally helping out in the classroom. The specific mandatory requirements of this Module are mapped out below. They form 10% of your overall result in this course and are added to the assessment weighting of the other two Modules you will complete over the span of your degree.
Please take some time to familiarise yourself with the contents of this Moodle page and the requirements of the Module.
Please pay particular attention to the assessment overview and how each of the tasks help you work toward important course outcomes. At a later stage you will combine all completed assessment tasks (from Modules 1, 2 and 3) into an e-portfolio based on the 8 ED300 course outcomes. You will find all eight course outcomes listed in the downloadable course outline below. Please familiarise yourself with them as they guide us all in the direction in which we need to be heading in this important capstone ED300 Practicum course.
