This Professional Experience final placement occurs in the second year of the Master of Teaching program. Pre-service teachers are expected to attend the lead in days at the commencement of the school year unless they are undertaking a country placement, in which case they may undertake the placement as a block of 8 weeks (40 days). Metropolitan placements require the completion of 10 days preparation and participation prior to a block of 6 weeks (30 days). Pre-service teachers under the guidance of a mentor teacher work towards assuming a full range of professional responsibilities.
