You’re studying Education as well? I’ve felt the same. I know the theory behind stuff but NFI on how to actually teach. Placements aren’t long enough.

I agree. A term in the classroom all up isn’t long enough. I’m a fan of the apprenticeship-based model that’s come out recently, but I think it should be extended to primary.

  I taught anatomy for a year with only my Health Science degree, no education training.

    That’s pretty cool. Do you use anatomy in your job now?

  Yep. It should be an apprenticeship, or hybrid. Maybe 2 years theory, 2 years apprenticeship, or 3/1. I’m hoping to get a job as a TA next year to get some classroom experience before I graduate (sometime in 2027 I hope)

    That’s a good idea! If you’re interested in Vic public, they advertise jobs all the time on the school jobs vic portal. Potentially even cold calling / emailing schools including ones you’ve done placement at could be a good idea :)
