Internships

The Internship Program has a vastly different emphasis from the Assistant Teacher Program (ATP) professional experience placement. The Internship assists to develop a deeper level of understanding of the complexity of school culture and what it means to be a committed graduate teacher. This may look different across settings as schools and early learning centres may use an Intern in one classroom, across classrooms or to develop a specific project to implement.

The Intern’s relationship with staff will progress to that of a colleague engaged in professional learning. There is a strong emphasis on independent learning, whilst supported by experienced staff from the school/early learning centre and University.

Testimonials

“The Scholar in Residence program has been the most beneficial, relevant and practical experience for me to grow professionally as a teacher. I worked alongside other teachers as colleagues and I focused on practising and improving weaker areas of my teaching without the pressure of being assessed. I could not recommend this program enough, I was able to begin teaching before I finished my degree, I developed programs that are now being used by the school and I have been able to continue as a relief teacher. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and I believe the school and I gained much from it.”
