Professional Placements: Learning through practice!

Welcome to the Professional Placements website.

Here you will find information to help you understand, prepare for and maximise your placement experience as a student/pre-service teacher.

Note on language: Practice teaching in schools is described within the profession using a variety of terms such as professional experience, teaching rounds, teaching practice, field experience and others; they all refer to what we term professional placement.
