This paper will inform and will be informed by your professional experience. It has weekly 2-hour workshops in college with a tentative schedule of content that will be modified as required. You will be in the field two days each week beginning week 7. Across your professional experience you will be engaged in school-based tutorials facilitated by the Liaison Lecturer, Liaison Teacher, or the students themselves. The focus of these tutorials will arise from the teaching/learning context and will be an opportunity to discuss and interrogate your observations and experiences as they arise within your individual learning communities.
