eLearning Advisors (eLAs):
eLAs are online tutors who work with our students to support their learning around the course content and their placement experience. They facilitate groups of around 20–30 students and will be the first point of contact for both you and your student. eLAs will email the Mentor Teacher before the placement period commences to support a quality placement experience. They assist by:
- Offering support for the Mentor Teacher when required in addressing the placement assessment.
- Being a point of contact for the education setting and Pre-service Teacher if problems arise during the placement.
- Liaising with the Unit Coordinator to facilitate further action and support as required.
- Providing support for the Mentor Teacher when a support plan has been raised.
