Graduate Diploma in Education (Secondary Education)
GradDipEd(Curtin) - 160906
HumanitiesThis course is outcomes-based with a student-centred approach to teaching and learning. As secondary school teachers are usually employed to teach more than one school subject, you will need to complete a minor study in a second curriculum area.
You will complete units in curriculum, foundation and teaching studies. You will complete 10 weeks field experience, consisting of supervised teaching segments and teaching assignments. You will also benefit from additional experience in schools in connection with academic units.
Unfortunately, we do not offer specialisations in:
- Home Economics
- Music
- Sport/Physical Education
- Technology and Enterprise (woodwork and metalwork)
Professional recognition
This course is recognised both nationally and internationally.
Career opportunities
Teaching at any level is a rewarding and interesting career. The Western Australian Department of Education and Training, as a matter of policy, employs teaching graduates from each institution in Western Australia. Many Curtin graduates are also employed by the Catholic education system and independent schools in Western Australia.
