Nominations/places are filling fast, if you wish to be considered for the Teacher Education in Schools Programme 2024, please submit your application for the online Graduate Diploma in Teaching (Secondary) programme by 17 November 2023.
The Teacher Education in Schools Programme is an opportunity to gain a top teaching qualification from the Faculty of Education and Social Work at the University of Auckland in just one year.
Participants will spend 3 days a week embedded in a host school, where they will experience day-to-day school life, while simultaneously completing their Graduate Diploma in Teaching (Secondary) online.
Students will complete two practicums over the year, one of which will be at the host school, with a second placement at another participating school. During Practicum weeks you will be in schools for 5 days each week.
The programme offers flexibility of online learning as well as benefiting from being part of a school community, learning alongside experienced teachers, involvement in school activities, and building knowledge of effective teaching practices through observation and participation in the classroom.
Beginning in a school straight away meant by the time I went on observation, I was already comfortable in my school, so there was no anxiety around experiencing the first day in a new place.
This programme is for selected students who wish to qualify as a secondary school teacher in the following subjects: Visual Arts, Science, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Social Sciences, History, Mathematics and Statistics, English and Te reo Māori.
There are no minimum GPA requirements and more than 30 places available!
