Your Professional Experience Handbook

This Australian handbook presents detailed, practical advice on how preservice teachers can confidently approach professional experience placements and the work they undertake with their mentors. Throughout the text important research-based evidence and theoretical frameworks are highlighted to provide a lens through which professional experiences can be analysed. By providing a strong theoretical foundation, the handbook is designed to help preservice teachers to make sense of their classroom experiences and provide guidance on how to improve their pedagogy.

The handbook is organised into three parts:

• Part 1 deals with the preparations that are necessary before each new professional experience opportunity;
• Part 2 focuses on the elements of effective learning and teaching;
• Part 3 consider the role of critical reflection in professional experience.

The 2nd Edition of Your Professional Experience Handbook: A guide for preservice teachers includes a new chapter devoted to helping preservice teachers understand the Teaching Performance Assessment (TPA) requirements, including practical advice for completing the TPA, ensuring the latest Teacher Education Ministerial Advisory Group (TEMAG) recommendations are addressed.
