The University of Tasmania is the leading tertiary provider of teaching qualifications in Tasmania. In line with our mission to be a university working for Tasmania and contributing Tasmania to the world, our graduates are employed in educational settings throughout Australia and overseas. The School of Education is recognised for its excellence in teaching and research.
Each of the degree courses within the School of Education incorporates regular compulsory teaching and learning opportunities for preservice and in-service teachers in schools and other educational settings. Professional Experience placements are sequential learning experiences designed to complement the pedagogical units and specialist studies completed as part of each degree course.
Professional Experience aims to help prepare our initial teacher education students ('pre-service teachers') for the multitude of roles in primary, secondary and early childhood educational environments.
Professional Experience consists of supervised and assessed teaching practice undertaken over a substantial and sustained period. The Professional Experience Office aims to provide a diverse range of experience as practicable.
