The aim of this subject is to foster agency in graduate student teachers' (GSTs) epistemologies
in their transition to professional teachers. In this subject, GSTs will focus on
developing their professional ethics, aspirations and personal epistemologies with
the view of teachers as leaders. Through focused analysis of school-based scenarios,
and in particular their Phase Three professional experiences, GSTs will demonstrate
autonomy, expert judgement and responsiveness in making decisions as well as articulating
their approach in supporting and leading classroom, school and community goals through
a variety of practical actions such as planning units of work, developing community
responsive pedagogical frameworks and procedures for parent and community consultation.
This subject assures GSTs' capacities to articulate and justify their professional
responsibilities and goals that reflect the assured standard of all components of
the Australian Graduate Teacher Standards, as well as their professional ethics and
aspirations.
