Lecturer/Teacher educator at University of Melbourne/Melbourne Polytechnic
I would like to use this post to acknowledge the work done by Clinical Educators at UniMelb. Without placement, all our work at Faculty of Education amounts to nought, and these staff members demonstrate extraordinary care and attention to the students they work with. Rarely are these hard-working individuals acknowledged for their dedication, expertise and contribution to the development of our future teachers, but I have no intention of letting their wonderful efforts go unnoticed. Consequently, I raise a metaphorical glass to our Clinical Educators and thank them for all the wonderful work done in what is often a difficult and thankless task.
