Course description
This is a professional-entry teacher training course for those seeking to gain an initial teaching qualification. The Victorian Institute of Teaching has approved this program for teacher registration, which is a prerequisite for employment as a school teacher in Victoria. Graduates are highly respected in Australia and internationally for their detailed knowledge of curriculum and highly developed teaching skills.
Course structure
The program encompasses 32 subjects, categorised as foundation studies, teaching studies, professional studies, discipline studies and electives. Practicum and field experience programs provide essential classroom experiences that contextualise the theoretical components of teaching, curriculum and professional studies. At the end of first year, students choose between primary, primary/special education and primary/secondary strands.
The primary strand includes six electives, enabling students to choose an additional discipline sequence. The primary/secondary strand qualifies students to teach from prep to middle school and secondary, and includes two minors for secondary registration purposes. The special education pathway provides students with a qualification to teach in primary or special education settings.
