As a teacher with a focus in Science or English/Literacy you will bring specialised knowledge for teaching and engaging children in these two priority courses into the primary school. You will develop valuable skills and experiences through participation in Wider Field Experiences where you engage with community projects and work with children, families and communities. During your studies, you can attend professional development seminars to enhance your knowledge and skills in areas such as classroom management and preparation for a successful first year of teaching.
