S.03: Goldfields Eyre Branch

Motion:

“That ICPA (WA) approach universities who offer a Bachelor of Education to investigate whether preservice/student teachers’ time spent programming and teaching ‘set work’ on stations could count towards their practical placements as part of their degree.”
DEEMED COVERED A.07

Explanation:

By working with the universities, isolated families who educate their children through SOTA’s could offer student teachers an immersive experience that would benefit themselves, the families and SOTA’s. This scheme would likely encourage preservice and student teachers to apply for positions with SOTA’s once they graduate and would benefit isolated families by providing them with a home tutor dedicated to education who understands the system and can more confidently deliver the curriculum.
