UNSW Final Preservice Practicum Placements Required

26/8/2016

Dear Sensei-gata,

We are hoping to gain your support in hosting our future teachers of Japanese for their final teaching practicum. We value your support of the future development of these students and appreciate your consideration.

All students have successfully completed teaching practicum previously. UNSW boasts highest quality teachers and given this is their final practicum before qualification, they will be at their top of their game.

We have a cohort of Japanese students in the Greater Sydney metropolitan area left to place. The practicum is 9 weeks in duration (10th October – 9th Dec) and takes place in Term 4, 2015.

If you are unavailable in this timeframe but would like to host UNSW future teachers, we will also hold this practicum during Term 1, 2017. If either timeframe is of interest, please discuss with your school’s practicum coordinator and get in contact with the UNSW Professional Experience office on:

Laura Bray
Ph: 9385 9116
