This course provides an opportunity for motivated and academically capable teachers to re-train in a learning area of great demand. An emphasis upon both curriculum content and best teaching practice in Western Australian secondary schools is a strong and consistent theme in across four pedagogy and content units. The science specialisation provides both a refresher and a consolidation of content skills for teachers who wish to re-train in the teaching of science up to and including Year 10. The course is supported by highly organised materials and flexible delivery for online units.
This course information may be updated and amended immediately prior to semester. To ensure you have the correct outline, please check it again at the beginning of semester. In particular please check the course requirements and the unit and unit set offerings, as these differ according to course delivery location.
All students are required to have a four-year teaching qualification. Alternatively students can have a Graduate Diploma of Education, with equivalents considered.
Not all units are offered on the Mount Lawley Campus.
