The topic focuses on the preparation of pre-service teachers for teaching and living in rural contexts. Rural is inclusive of all locations other than urban or metropolitan- typically referred to in Australia as 'rural, regional and remote'.

The topic is essentially designed and structured around three 'voices'- 'voices from the literature and the research', 'voices from the field', and the 'voices of pre-service teachers'.

The 'voices from the literature and research' section comprises 3 strands: contexts, issues and practice.

The 'voices from the field' comprise inputs from people currently working in or who have taught in rural and regional schools and contexts.

To prepare pre-service teachers for living and teaching in rural communities through engagement with relevant issues, knowledge, skills and experiences.

A well grounded and informed understanding of ways and means to be a professional teacher in a rural context.
