Supervising Teachers' Corner

The Supervising Teachers' Corner has been created to house documentation and processes to assist Supervising Teachers through a professional experience placement. The information included in ST Corner comprises assessment, placement documentation, 'At-Risk' assistance, and other general information.

If you are currently supervising a Teacher Education Student (TES) and have any concerns with the placement, we advise you to submit an Assistance Request Form or call the Office for Professional Learning.


Placement Documentation Repository

Below is an outline and explanation of the documents necessary for most Professional Experience Placements approved by the Office for Professional Learning (OPL). In some cases, the information will be slightly different, depending on the varied requirements of placements.

A Confirmation Package is sent to the Teacher Education Student (TES) and their nominated Supervising Teacher.  Teacher Education Students and Supervising Teachers should contact the OPL if they have not received this email by one week prior to the scheduled start date of the placement.

Please ensure that at the end of the placement, send the Professional Experience Final Report, Attendance Register, and Claim Form to oplreports@une.edu.au so we can finalise the placement.

Professional Experience Final Report

This report is attached to the Confirmation package and is sent only to the Supervising Teacher. This will then be completed, scanned, and emailed to the Office for Professional Learning (oplreports@une.edu.au).

Please ensure the original completed Professional Experience Report is provided to the TES for their records. Please ensure the report is signed and dated before emailing.

Please Note: For Placements to be finalised the Report and Attendance must both be submitted. The Placement is not deemed to be complete until both documents are received by the Office for Professional Learning (oplreports@une.edu.au).

In-Service Placements do not require an Attendance Register.

Attendance Registers

Completed by the TES and Supervising Teacher throughout the placement and emailed with the Professional Experience Report at the completion of the placement.

Please record all days attended, missed, and made up days on the Register

Please note, that there are different registers for Early Childhood, Primary, and Secondary Placements, Please see below

Assistance Request Form

Please use the Assistance Request Form below to contact the Office for Professional Learning as soon as concerns arise during the placement.

Please be assured the OPL is available to assist both the Supervising Teacher and the Teacher Education Student. The earlier the OPL is notified about, concerns the sooner we can intervene and provide targeted support.

Weekly Review Sheet

Completed by the Supervising Teacher each week and then presented to the TES in the Weekly Review sessions.

It is an ongoing assessment tool to guide the TES’s progress and create goals around their teaching throughout the placement. Please ensure copies of this review are available to the TES at the time of these weekly sessions.

Some units have Specific Weekly Review Sheets please see below.
