Bachelor of Education (Secondary)/Bachelor of Arts (Mathematics) (Accelerated)

Australian Catholic University

Prepare students to succeed in a rapidly changing world. You will learn the craft of teaching from experienced mentors across a wide range of educational contexts. Gain the confidence, skills, and practical experience to teach secondary mathematics. As a graduate, you will be proficient in innovative curriculum, teaching and assessment practice. This course includes university-level mathematics, and you will develop a contemporary understanding of the variety of ways students learn mathematics and the diversity of teaching approaches needed to ensure all students understand mathematics. Build strength in your skills over time, from observing your mentor teacher, to co-teaching, through to planning for and teaching multiple classes a day.

All initial teacher education programs must include a defined period, or professional experience, where pre-service teachers practise teaching in a school under the direct supervision and guidance of an appropriately qualified teacher. In order to graduate, pre-service teachers must satisfy all the requirements of their program, including the professional experience requirements. Supervised professional experience is at the heart of all our pre-service teacher education courses and the Faculty will find appropriate placements to suit the needs of your course. Placements will usually be arranged for the scheduled placement period in the professional experience calendar though this may not always be possible.
