Master of Teaching (Primary)

Make an impact on young people's lives. The Master of Teaching (Primary) program qualifies graduates with non-education bachelor degrees to teach in primary schools with students in Prep to Year 6.

In this program you will:

• Learn to inspire young students and apply existing subject knowledge in the classroom

• Study core courses that prepare you to teach english, maths, science, technology, arts, history, geography, health and physical education (PE)

• Learn how to motivate and encourage young students through curriculum design, teaching strategies and behaviour management

• Enhance your knowledge and skills through ongoing professional development seminars and employment forums

• Complete Supervised Professional Experience in three blocks, totalling 60 days of practice teaching, with the opportunity to gain experience in rural and remote areas throughout Queensland

Research has shown that the most effective teachers are those who have academic capability, literacy and numeracy skills, and personal characteristics (non-academic capabilities). Entry to this program requires that applicants meet academic and non-academic criteria.

Academic qualifications
