Preface
Thank you for being a part of this essential component of Initial Teacher Education. Professional
experience is critical to the preparation of graduate teachers. Site based teacher educators are
important contributors to the preparation of JCU teacher graduates. They contribute to the
foundation for JCU preservice teachers’ learning as educators, and provide experiences that
support learning and change. The contributions of site-based teacher educators are also vital to
professional renewal and reflect the goodwill and collegiality of our teacher communities.
This document realigns JCU Professional Experience Program to the new Queensland Professional
Experience Reporting Framework. It also responds to feedback from school community and JCU
preservice teachers. This handbook is informed by policy imperatives as well as best practice
literature in initial teacher education. Further, to give effect to JCU’s Strategic Intent and Goals,
we seek to prepare graduate teachers who are committed and responsive to meeting the needs
of people in the region.
Graduates of this program will engage ‘open-eyed’ and critically in the complex and creative
work of teaching; they will contribute to the wealth of the community they serve. Furthermore,
we seek to cultivate an ethic of care in JCU teacher graduates who, with dispositions of inquiry,
support the aspirations and lives of students and their communities. A key goal of professional
experience is to immerse preservice teachers in the exciting work of teaching to refine their
theoretical understandings of, and sensitivities to student learning that inform their teaching.
This handbook provides the guiding policy for ensuring
professional experience in Education at James Cook University
optimises professional learning. As noted by the Australian
Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL),
“Supported, authentic professional experience is categorised
by strong collegial interactions and focus on learning”. This
program is focussed on leadership, professional learning and
engagement based on the Australian Professional Standards
for Teachers (APST). It capitalizes on the potential of the rich
professional learning relationship between preservice teachers
(PSTs) and their Site-Based Teacher Educators (SBTEs). Its
developmental approach systematically supports preservice
teachers’ success. Its coteaching
1
principles promote theory
and practice alignment, improve pedagogical understanding
and reflective practice. This framework involves PSTs and SBTEs
learning through professional conversations, coplanning,
coteaching and coevaluating the professional experience.
We welcome feedback to continue to improve the quality of learning and teaching that our
communities expect of us.
1
Coteaching is a teacher preparation approach grounded in social constructivism. It is distinguished from the hyphenated term ‘co-teaching’ that is primarily
associated with special education. (See Murphy & Martin, 2015) However, for the purpose of grammar clarity, the hyphenated form is used in this
handbook.

Professional Experience: Our Purpose
Objective
Upon completion of the professional experience program, preservice teachers will have
cultivated a habit of contributing to an image of teaching as a profession that cares, and that
seeks to make a difference. Professional experience offers not only authentic learning
opportunities for preservice teachers to develop the necessary skills and knowledge of
teaching, but also their personal, interpersonal and emotional capabilities (Scott, 2014). In
addition to developing graduate teachers who meet the prescribed Australian Professional
Standards of Teaching (APST), our collective efforts also seek to develop graduate teachers
who demonstrate characteristics of high calibre aspirant teachers as outlined in Queensland
Schooling Sectors’ Expectations of Graduate Teachers, and develop a learning disposition, “to
continue to seek answers to difficult problems of teaching and learning and the skills to learn
from practice as well as to learn for practice” (Darling-Hammond, 2006). Put simply, JCU
graduate teachers are critically reflective and seek in their actions to be better teachers,
colleagues, and community members.
With our professional learning schools, we work towards developing critically reflective JCU
graduate teachers who demonstrate:
- a quality of teaching defined by APST at a Graduate level
- personal capabilities: self-awareness, decisiveness, commitment
- interpersonal capabilities: influencing, empathising
- cognitive capabilities: diagnosis, strategy, flexibility and responsiveness
- appreciation and understanding of the strengths and challenges of our region
- a professional identity that resonates with their commitment to student learning and
wellbeing
“Teaching is a profession with certain moral and technical expectations—especially the
expectation that teachers, working collaboratively, will acquire, use, and continue to
develop shared knowledge on behalf of students” (Darling-Hammond, 2006)
Upon successful completion of the professional experience program,
preservice teachers will develop a demonstrated body of
knowledge and a range of skills as prescribed in Australian
Professional Standards of Teaching. JCU preservice teachers will also
be consciously refining their beliefs and learning dispositions to
construct a professional identity that resonates with their

Phase 1 Professional Learning Activities
What is the structure of this professional experience phase?
1st year professional experience consists of 5 days, and serve as an induction to the profession
by their SBTEs. Preservice teachers are required to observe the daily practices of a teacher, and
contribute to student learning as directed by their SBTE and incidentally.
Over the first days, SBTEs provide a walk-through, and engage in professional conversations of
teachers’ work with their preservice teachers.
How does this professional experience phase fit in the B.Ed course?
This placement is embedded in the subject, Foundations of Education. The subject
provides a foundational understanding of issues of equity and diversity through research,
theory and policies. Preservice teachers draw on their understandings to observe and
understand how these issues are played out in schools. They are required to complete a
School Community Asset Map to identify the strengths of a school in responding to
student diversity.
What is the expected teaching load?
Preservice teachers are not expected to engage in any whole class teaching. However, with
close supervision and guidance, SBTEs could provide opportunities for preservice teachers to
work with small groups and individual learners.
The following tables outline the professional learning activities through each week of the
placement. Each week is presented as a separate table. The number of lessons/days allocated
for planning, teaching, assessing and reflecting for each week are stipulated as minimum
requirements. At the bottom of each table is a blank row. It has been included for preservice
teachers to include notes about potential artefacts from each week of their experience that
they may include in their Professional Experience portfolio. A detailed explanation on the
Professional Experience portfolio is provided as well.

What is a Professional Experience Portfolio?
Throughout the professional degree program, preservice teachers will engage in a
number of professional experience placement blocks. During each block, they are
required to compile evidence of their professional capacities in what is referred to as a
professional experience portfolio. This portfolio represents part of their work as a preservice
teacher – it allows them to record the ‘invisible’ work of teaching – the planning,
reflecting, and pedagogical decision-making that goes behind all successful teaching
episodes.
SBTEs will discuss with preservice teachers the required artefacts for assessment prior, or on
the first day of the professional experience phase. Table 2 provides a summary of
suggested artefacts. Depending on context, some artefacts might not be relevant or
appropriate.
On the final day of the placement, SBTEs will review the professional experience portfolio
to inform their assessment of the preservice teachers’ performance over the professional
experience phase.
Table 2 below summarises the suggested artefacts of the Professional Experience portfolio.
This is not an exhaustive list – the table outlines suggested artefacts for inclusion in your
portfolio. The specific artefacts you choose to include in each section of your portfolio
should be carefully selected so that they evidence your capacities in relation to each of
the relevant Australian Professional Standards for Teachers (APST) as outlined on the
professional experience report.

Optional Paired Placement
Note: First year PSTs have the option of a paired placement for the two-week practicum; as
such PSTs may express a desire to be placed with another PST as a pair.
Schools that are able to accept the placement of the collaborative teaching pair with one SBTE
in one classroom are asked to read this information page. The Professional Experience Unit will
prepare PSTs for the paired placement through professional experience lectures.
Outcomes for the Paired Placement
• In pairs, complete 5 days of observations with SBTE
• Provide feedback as a critical friend to the paired PST.
• Continue to develop Professional Experience Portfolio relating to the activities outlined in this
handbook.
At the beginning of the placement, it is expected that PSTs will collaboratively work with his/her
teaching partner and the SBTE to plan the strategies to be employed to meet the outcomes of
this practicum. The aim of this collaborative approach to learning is to encourage the PST to
develop high quality communication, interpersonal skills, collaboration, and work towards the
APST standards, particularly for professional practice.
Observations should be completed in collaborative ways.
Reporting – PSTs must develop their own Professional Learning Portfolio and map their
performance over the Learning Cycle.
17
Assessment Guide
Professional experience is an opportunity for preservice teacher to learn within and
through practice. Their learning is demonstrated through their contributions to student
learning as well as their professional reflections on their contributions to the classroom
and the wider school community.
On that basis, a key question guiding SBTEs’ evaluation of a first year preservice teacher is:
• Has the preservice teacher shown sufficient evidence of a deep interest to learn and
develop their professional knowledge and skills?
By the end of your first professional experience, they are expected to demonstrate
through their practice and professional experience folder:
•
an early developing knowledge and understanding of the implications for learning of
students' physical, cultural, social, linguistic and intellectual characteristics.
• a developing understanding of the principles of inclusion.
• a developing knowledge of how to identify appropriate types of feedback to
improve student learning.
• a developing knowledge of strategies that support a positive learning environment
• exploring ways to identify support for students' wellbeing and safety, working within
school and system curriculum and legislative requirements
• professional conduct that reflects QCT Code of Conduct and the school’s code of
conduct.
In making this formal evaluation, SBTEs will take into consideration:
• the evidence of pre-service teacher learning
• daily practices
• preservice teachers’ reflection based on their portfolio of evidence
• consultation with Site Coordinator
Each placement is assessed using one report. At the end of this placement, PSTs must
demonstrate a minimum of Developing Adequately level in all descriptors to pass this
professional experience.
Assessment Ratings:
Well developed
Consistent evidence of knowledge, practice and
engagement that demonstrate the APST descriptors at the
Graduate Career Stage
Developing
adequately towards
graduate level
Awareness of the descriptors at the APST Graduate Career
Stage but demonstrates inconsistent knowledge practice
and engagement at this level
Not developing
adequately
Little or no evidence of knowledge, practice and
engagement of awareness that meet the descriptors at
the APST Graduate Career Stage
18
Assessment Procedure
Prior to the last day of placement, preservice teacher should organize a time to discuss
their practice with their SBTE.
By the last day of each placement, SBTE will discuss their evaluation with PST. The
discussion includes:
• Evidence of practice using the Professional Experience Portfolio
• Key strengths, areas of concern and suggestions for improvement
The report may be completed in hard copy or via the fillable PDF version of the report,
which is available here:

• Provide descriptive feedback to guide preservice teacher’s professional development
• Sign the completed report digitally (if using PDF), or with a pen (if using hard copy).
• Make a copy of the completed report and retain this copy for their records
• Submit the signed and completed report to eduprofex@jcu.edu.au (if in PDF format) or

Preservice Teacher Intervention Notification –
Guidelines for Use
The “Intervention Notification” is designed for use by preservice teachers only, to trigger a
response from the Professional Experience Unit at JCU to the student submitting the
notification. (Please refer to the “Preservice Teacher At Risk Notification” for use by the site
coordinator or supervising teacher).
In the event of a problem or concern for a preservice teacher, the required process is
summarised in the following:
Step 1: Preservice teacher raises concern with her/his SBTE.
Step 2: If issue is not resolved following discussion with supervising teacher, the preservice
teacher raises concern with the school’s site coordinator as early as possible (the site
coordinator is the main point of contact in schools for JCU).
Step 3: Preservice teacher requests the site coordinator set up a meeting involving all
parties – the preservice teacher, SBTE and site coordinator – to discuss the issue of
concern.
Step 4: If the concern remains, the preservice teacher completes and submits the
Intervention Notification form (see next page) via email to the Professional Experience
Unit. If the matter is urgent, please phone the Professional Experience Unit to alert us to
the incoming email.
The “Intervention Notification” is a form designed for use by preservice teachers only, to
trigger a response from the Professional Experience Unit at JCU to the student submitting
the notification.
Upon receipt of the Intervention Notification, the Professional Experience Unit will notify the
relevant Academic Liaison who will then make contact with the preservice teacher to
discuss the matter of concern. If necessary, the Academic Liaison will visit the school to
discuss the matter with the parties concerned – the preservice teacher, site coordinator
and/or supervising teacher.

At Risk Notification – Guidelines for Use (SBTE & Site
Coordinator)
PURPOSE
The “Preservice Teacher At Risk Notification” process during professional experience is
designed to alert the preservice teacher and Education to areas of concern identified by
the SBTE and site coordinator. The At Risk Notification process should be used in any of the
following circumstances:
Where the SBTE and site coordinator believe that the preservice teacher could, with
additional effort and attention, work to demonstrate competence in all criteria required
in the professional experience.
Where the preservice teacher is failing to respond effectively to feedback provided by
the SBTE and site coordinator.
Where the SBTE and site coordinator believe that intervention from the Professional
Experience Unit would assist the preservice teacher.
The “Preservice Teacher At Risk Notification” form should be submitted as early as possible.
This allows time for intervention to occur.
The IDEAL process for submitting the “Preservice Teacher At Risk Notification” form is
summarised in the following:
Step 1: SBTE raises concerns about progress directly with both the site coordinator in the
school and with
the preservice teacher.
Step 2: Site coordinator sets up a meeting with SBTE and the preservice teacher in the
school to discuss concerns and completes the “Preservice Teacher At Risk
Notification” form. The form is then emailed to JCU and the Coordinator phones
the Professional Experience Unit to notify of lodgement. [email:
eduprofex@jcu.edu.au

Step 3: JCU Professional Experience Unit immediately notifies the Academic Liaison who:
• Makes contact with the school and the preservice teacher
• Organises to discuss concerns with the preservice teacher and the supervising
teacher
• In collaboration, develops an action plan – this may include counselling etc.
BUT will NOT include more time in the school
Step 4: All parties review progress to determine competency level.
If further action is required, the site coordinator should contact the Director of Professional
Experience via email: laikuan.lim@jcu.edu.au or phone (07) 4781 5529
NB (1): Please note that while it is recommended that the “at risk” process be used when
there are concerns about a preservice teacher, it is not an essential step and preservice
teachers may still be deemed “not competent” even if an “at risk” notification has not
been submitted.
22
NB (2): This process should not be used if the preservice teacher is CLEARLY NOT
COMPETENT to proceed. If a preservice teacher is deemed not competent to proceed at
any stage during final year, the JCU Professional Experience Unit will work with the
preservice teacher to develop an action plan to address concerns raised. The completion
of appropriate intervention almost always allows for a repeat practicum period (in a
different school location).
