In this third learning area subject, Interns will consolidate their understandings of the theory and practice of teaching, and the Clinical Teaching Model, with particular attention given to the critique of contemporary issues and debates on Psychology within Australia and beyond. Through this subject, Interns are supported to become reflective teachers of Psychology with an understanding of relevant and appropriate sources of professional learning for teachers.

The assessment tasks in this subject will support Interns in strengthening their skills in identifying and adapting appropriate pedagogical practices to differentiate teaching and meet the specific needs of students of diverse backgrounds and abilities, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, as well as critiquing and responding to key educational issues that impact on teaching and learning.
