Description and protocols

Beginning music teaching can be a challenging experience, with beginning teachers sometimes experiencing a 'roller coaster' ride of experiences as they enter new learning contexts. Music teachers will be expected to conduct new activities, integrate new musical concepts or organise different musical learning contexts.

This room has been created exclusively for pre-service teachers to collaborate, problem solve, reflect and dream of current and future contexts within a supportive online community. Pre-service teachers will be able to develop productive relationships with academics, teachers and pre-service teachers across Australia.
