You are provided with the opportunity to explore and critically analyse a wide range of educational literature and research to examine the application of these findings to professional practice. Throughout the course, you will engage in practical experience opportunities in a variety of relevant school environments. It is a highly practical course with a total of 60 days hands-on classroom experience gained through three professional experience placements in a variety of primary school settings.
