| Course description |
Placement 2 consists of five serial days or an enquiry week in semester 1 followed by a block placement of five weeks in semester 2. Students, unless circumstances prevent it, will be placed in pairs. These pairings will facilitate collaborative learning through providing opportunities to share developing understandings, provide feedback and generally support each other. Where pairings prove impossible alternative strategies to facilitate peer learning will be used.
