ACU Professional Experience, Signadou Campus

Welcome to ACU National's Professional Experience Program within the faculty of Education.
The professional experience program aims to provide opportunities for pre-service teachers to apply and reflect upon a diverse range of educational practices appropriate for children in early childhood, primary, secondary and special classroom settings.

Through participation in a developmental sequence of professional experiences appropriately positioned throughout courses, pre-service teachers come to appreciate the complexities of the school environment, and the commitment and responsibility required of those entering the teaching profession. The high standard set by pre-service teachers in past years is a model to be maintained by all who commence the professional experience.

Expectations for each professional experience differ and, naturally, increase as pre-service teachers gain confidence and experience. Through the on-going support of schools and close collaboration between Teachers, ACU National Representatives and School Professional Experience Coordinators, pre-service teachers are provided with the opportunity for growth and learning in a welcoming school community.

ACU National extends its appreciation to all participants involved in supporting the program.
