The Master of Teaching (Primary and Secondary) is the perfect choice for those who like to be agile. As a graduate, they will have the ability to work in a K-12 school or pivot between primary and secondary. Students will develop a suite of transferable skills and an invaluable mindset that can be applied to almost any sector, including education, youth work, corporate learning and development, NGOs, media and community-based organizations.
Students will learn from highly experienced, passionate teachers who understand first-hand the importance of recognizing all students as people first. They will discover how to foster well-balanced relationships in the classroom to ensure students build positive connections with their peers, in turn promoting an environment to thrive.
To ensure students gain a holistic understanding of how other students learn, they will also have the opportunity to study and collaborate with early childhood educators, as well as primary and secondary teachers.
Students can choose to participate in Deakin University’s Global Education Program and gain a broader perspective on teaching. Experience teaching in a remote community interstate or overseas and develop their skills in intercultural education while improving their resume.
This combined with an extensive 80-days of professional placement and students’ completion of a Teaching Performance Assessment (TPA), benchmarked against national standards of teaching performance, means they will be set for success in the classroom and beyond.
