COURSE CURRICULUM

The Master of Teaching (Early Childhood and Primary) offers a distinctive learning experience through its clinical model of education, a unique approach within Australia. This model connects students directly with contemporary research and evidence-based practice, enabling future teachers to develop skills in assessing individual learner needs and tailoring instruction accordingly. By understanding how each child learns and evolves over time, students in the program become equipped to deliver personalised learning that supports diverse abilities and fosters ongoing student growth.A key feature of the course is the professional Work Integrated Learning (WIL) experience in the final year, which allows students to explore a specialised area of interest in depth. This capstone includes a placement aligned with the chosen focus area and may take place beyond traditional education settings, including hospitals, cultural institutions such as museums and art galleries, and other community-based environments. This opportunity encourages meaningful reflection on teaching practice while strengthening adaptability, creativity, and professional identity. It aligns closely with the expectation that educators engage in lifelong and evidence-informed professional development.The program combines theoretical learning with practical application through a flexible blend of online and on-campus experiences. Students also participate in highly supported teaching placements across both early childhood and primary school settings, gaining confidence and professional readiness through extensive real-world practice. The Master of Teaching is offered as a full-time two-year program or as a three-year extended option, requiring 225 credit points to complete. The structure ensures a comprehensive and balanced experience that prepares graduates to become skilled, reflective, and resilient educators capable of supporting the learning and wellbeing of every child in a range of educational environments.
