Deakin University 

Master of Teaching Intern

Jessica Williams has recently spent her internship here at Woodmans Hill. 

Jessica is completing her Master of Teaching at Deakin University .

As part of this school's ongoing commitment to the induction and development of new teachers, we were pleased to welcome Jessica Williams to the school.  Jess is completing her Master of Teaching at Deakin University and has completed all theoretical and professional experience requirements to become a provisionally registered teacher with the Victorian Institute of Teaching, and has chosen to commence her teaching career as an Intern.  The Deakin Master of Teaching Internship Program is fully endorsed by the Victorian Department of Education (DEECD), the Australian Education Union (AEU), the Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT), the Catholic Education Office Melbourne (CEOM) and Early Childhood Australia (Victoria Branch).

Jess was working under the general supervision and expert guidance of Brennan Deppeler who was her mentor, advising and assisting Jess to plan, prepare and take on the responsibilities of a teacher in the school over a period of 10 weeks.

Jess will became fully involved in the life of the school including, where appropriate, communicating with parents.

The school regards this as an opportunity for both the Intern and the Mentor Teacher to extend their professional skills in a collegiate partnership. We are pleased to be able to provide Jess with a stimulating and supported transition to her teaching career.
