At the end of last week, we posted out a letter – one to each high school and each central school in NSW. We know this is a little old fashioned, but we also know there are still language teachers who aren't aware of our blog.

You can download the letter below, if you didn't receive it. 

Please share it with your language teaching colleagues.

URGENT – seeking experienced teachers for lesson observations by preservice language teachers

21/2/2019

0 Comments

 
Western Sydney University is seeking schools/language teachers to participate in a 6-week observation period as part of the curriculum development of preservice language teachers.

Experienced teachers will provide 2 hours of support to preservice language teachers in the Master of Teaching course. The 2-hour block will be negotiated between the classroom teacher and the preservice teacher.

The preservice teachers:
- will visit the school and observe language classes in action
- will  observe lessons (not teach), identify skills, and resources which they can use in their own career development
- have completed the Professional Experience 1
- have a Working With Children Check.

Number of placements needed:
- 2 Spanish
- 5 Japanese
- 2 Chinese
- 1 Greek
- 1 Italian
- 1 Arabic.
