This course prepares you as a teacher with specialist understandings for secondary school learners in two teaching and learning discipline areas. The 2 year program develops you through to demonstrated achievement of the Australian Professional Standards for Beginning Teachers (APST) as required by the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL). The program meets the additional requirements of the Queensland College of Teachers (QCT) for program accreditation in Queensland. Graduates will be registrable as teachers in each State and Territory of Australia.
The program includes substantial professional experience embedded and connected to on-campus learning. Flagship units in this course cover topics such as Indigenous education, inclusive and EAL/D education, and trauma-aware education for future-focused teaching.
The program can be undertaken full-time over two years in either a standard progression (4 semesters over 2 years) or an accelerated progression (full-time study including summer teaching periods for 12 months and a final 2 semesters taken part-time). The accelerated progression is designed to allow you the flexibility to work part-time while completing your study.
You must take the majority of your professional experience in an Australian secondary school setting.
As a graduate, you are prepared to teach in secondary school settings, guided by, but not limited by, your teaching areas.
