Learn how to become a confident primary school teacher with a combination of on-campus and teacher placement study. The Master of Teaching (Primary) prepares you to teach across all primary years (children aged five-12 years) as a generalist teacher, with specialist knowledge in literacy and numeracy education. You will be prepared to teach with innovative insights into curriculum and subject areas, as well as applying and building on your knowledge from a choice of eight specialised pathways.
During the Master of Teaching (Primary) course, you will learn how to become a confident primary school teacher, ready to lead your own classes. You will become an active member of a school in your first semester. This means you can directly connect what you learn at university with what you learn in the classroom.
Through studies in Evidence-Based Teaching, the Master of Teaching will help you develop interventionist educational assistance. You'll develop the professional skills to assess, diagnose and support the individual learning needs of all students, and work with learners of all abilities.
