As part of their Professional Experience program, all students in the Secondary Bachelor of Teaching course at UWS are required to complete PE3 – a 60 hour Professional Experience in a non-traditional learning environment.

UWS student-teachers can participate in the Learning Choices >>Next Generation project for their PE3. UWS student-teachers will develop structured projects to work on with the students.

The projects the student-teachers work on with the students could be anything from graphic design and t-shirt printing, making a short film or radio piece, building a bookshelf – as long as it is of interest to the students, and preferably hands-on and practical.

Approximately 20 hours will be spent in preparation, background research and evaluation at the completion of the project, and 40 hours will be spent completing the project. Student-teachers can work on their own or in groups of two, in which case the requirement is 80 hours instead of 60.
