This graduate-entry teacher education preparation course provides students with a qualification to teach in secondary schools. Students who have both the required undergraduate degree and specialisation subjects can complete the course in one year of full-time intensive study. The course is offered in a range of specialist areas.
The course consists of three components of study. The professional studies component is available in each of the specialisation areas and aims to develop the professional knowledge, skills and values needed by an effective educator in students' key learning areas. The education studies component provides research-based studies of educational theory and practice as a basis for professional decision-making in the school context. These subjects draw upon the foundation education disciplines of psychology, sociology and philosophy, as well as addressing the education of students with special needs. The professional experience component includes both campus-based and field-based experiences.
This course is a secondary school teaching preparation course. It is suitable for students about to graduate with a bachelor's degree and for mature-aged graduates who are changing careers and want a teaching qualification. It includes an intensive professional experience program where students spend up to 10 weeks in practical experience teaching and offers extensive, structured and closely supported experiences of secondary school teaching in different settings. The course has the flexibility to enable students who have most but not all the required undergraduate specialisation subjects to undertake the additional required subjects as part of the degree.
