The solution to this problem lies with our universities and schools. Educators from all walks of life need to come together to bust the myths surrounding day-to-day life as teachers and eradicate the stigma that turn droves of young people off the profession.
PRAC-E Symposiums is one of the first intiatives to provide authentic educational conferences that specifically target student teachers’ needs.
What are the workloads like?
How do you handle marking?
How do I get a job out of Uni?
How do I structure a lesson?
How do I handle a student throwing a chair at me?
Students will have their burning queries answered from a range of experts, from senior classroom teachers with 30+ years’ experience to 4th year education majors, from Head of Departments to young teachers in their second year of the careers, and everything in-between.
PRAC-E Symposiums will give the opportunity to let teachers do what they do best, educate and share their real-life experiences from a voice that every University student can relate to.
In July 2018, PRAC-E delivered its debut symposium as a part of The Queensland University of Technology's Stepping Out Conference. This event was performed in front of the 400 4th year Bachelor of Education students. Scroll below for testimonials.
