Abstract

The Isolated Schools Project provided the opportunity for six University of Southern Queensland student teachers to experience teaching in rural areas in the North and South West regions of Queensland. The project offers students experience in a broad range of areas including: multi-level planning and timetabling; pupil free day activities; and initial enrolment and administration procedures. These students have shown a keen interest in applying to teach in areas such as these upon the completion of their course. Over a two and a half week period, students experienced not only teaching in this type of setting, but also community life in general. All of the students who participated feel that it is important to highlight the fact that the teachers who provided places for them on this experience did so on a voluntary basis.
