Course overview

Teaching observation, co-teaching and one teaching project with defined aims and duration will be undertaken within teaching programs approved by the Program Convenor. These activities will be monitored during seminars and through a written Teaching Log outlining the candidate's implementation and evaluation of the tasks undertaken.
