1. Students are required to take the three Professional Experience and Reflection courses in sequence. Professional Experience and Reflection days and blocks must be taken on a continuous full-time basis regardless of whether a student is studying in a part-time or full-time mode.
2. Accreditation requirements mandate that pre-service teacher education students in a two year program undertake supervised professional experience of no less than 60 days in a formal education setting. In South Australia this includes preschool settings. Pre-service teacher education students are assessed against the Teachers Registration Board (SA) professional teaching standards and are awarded a non-graded pass (NGP).
3. Students will be required to undertake a criminal history screening through the Department of Communities and Social Inclusion (DCSI), the clearance will be valid for three years. The Criminal History Screening must be completed prior to being accepted for a placement and can take up to six to eight weeks to be processed. Strict confidentiality is maintained during the DCSI clearance process. If a student fails to obtain clearance for any reason, the University cannot accept responsibility for obtaining a professional experience placement or any other professional experience activity that a student may require to complete the course of study. If students cannot undertake a professional experience placement or any other professional experience activity which is a compulsory part of the program, they cannot graduate with an Education Degree from UniSA.
4. Identified students must complete L3 placement preparation workshops.
5. Students enrolled in programs in the School of Education and who are completing any in-school or site (ie preschools and childcare settings) observations, activities or professional experience placements, must undertake mandatory training in Responding to Abuse and Neglect prior to the commencement of the activities or placements. In South Australia child protection legislation and policy require all organisations to establish and promote child safe environments. Mandatory reporting of child abuse and neglect training is required of all individuals working with children and young people. All students undertaking professional experience placements in South Australian government and non-government schools and preschools must provide documented evidence (ie a certificate) that shows they have completed all the required training from one of the providers mentioned on the following website. For more information go to http://www.unisa.edu.au/Education-Arts-and-Social-Sciences/school-of-education/Our-Placements/Pre-requisites-and-Requirements/
6. All students commencing from 1 January 2017 will be required to meet the required standard in the national Literacy and Numeracy Test for Initial Teacher Education (LANTITE) prior to graduation. Students will undertake the national literacy and numeracy tests during the first year of their program. Students will be required to meet the standard of each Test as a prerequisite for their final Professional Experience Placement course. The University will provide a range of supports for students who do not achieve the required standard in either the literacy or numeracy or both tests. Students will be allowed three attempts at each test. Any student who fails to meet the standard on three occasions in either the literacy or numeracy test will usually be counselled to transfer to an alternative program.
1. The Education Study component of the program comprises these 6 courses (27 units).
2. The Professional Experience and Reflection component of the program comprises these 3 courses (18 units).
3. The Discipline/Learning Area Studies component of the program comprises 5 courses (22.5 units) selected from those listed above. Three courses are chosen from student's major learning area and two courses from student's minor learning area. Those Learning Areas listed as available as a minor learning area only do not require prior knowledge in the area.
4. Discipline/Learning Area courses A1, A2 and A3 must be chosen from the student's major learning area while courses B1 and B2 are chosen from their minor learning area.
5. The Professional Option course can be studied in any study period depending on timetabling. The Professional Option courses will be available on the School of Education web page.
6. International students commence the program in Second Semester in Study Period 4 in their first year. Refer to the program schedule above for the course enrolment structure.
Successful completion of this program provides a recognised academic qualification which will enable graduates to apply for teacher registration in South Australia, interstate and some overseas countries. Applicants should note there are other criteria determining eligibility for registration by the Teachers Registration Board of South Australia and other registration and regulatory authorities. Applicants are advised to check registration requirements as they are subject to change.
