Bach of Teaching (Secondary)/Bach of Health and Physical Education

Study mode: Full Time |

This program aims to develop the knowledge, skills and dispositions necessary for a highly successful career in teaching. Graduates of this program will be able to seek employment as Preschool and Early Childhood educators, and K-6 (Primary) teachers in and beyond the New South Wales (NSW) Government, Catholic, and Independent school sectors. The program aims to develop graduates who are inspirational teachers with the capability to act professionally, ethically and effectively in their educational destinations; insightful scholars with the capability to engage in rational enquiry into curriculum, policy and practice; and innovative leaders with the capability to play a constructive role in public discourse on and beyond education. The program builds on existing strong partnerships with schools and Early Childhood settings in NSW, particularly those in the Hunter and Central Coast Regions. As an important and significant part of their program of study, students will have experienced a continuous engagement with the profession through participating in formal and informal professional experiences in and across a range of educational contexts and settings. The professional experience opportunities in the program will have allowed students to study teaching as it unfolds in diverse educational settings, to develop their professional dispositions, and to demonstrate their attainment of graduate teacher standards. These professional studies will have culminated in a special course designed to support them as New Scheme Teachers, to effectively monitor, evaluate, plan and keep records of their ongoing professional learning, and to report on their attainment of the NSW Institute of Teachers' standards for "professional competence" once they enter the teaching profession. Opportunities exist for employment in educational settings in NSW Department of Education and Training, Catholic Education and Independent school systems; and in public and private school sectors both nationally and internationally.
