About

Overview

UniSQ’s Graduate Certificate of Education Studies (Special and Inclusive Education) extends your specialist knowledge, experience and skills required to work within education settings facilitating the inclusion of all learners, particularly those with disabilities and additional learning needs.
Enhance your role in a range of specialised contexts applying contemporary, evidence-based pedagogies, whether in your own practice and/or supporting general education teachers to develop and implement individualised programs for students with diverse learning needs.
You will have the opportunity to study in the areas of wellbeing promotion; trauma, behaviour and learning; functional behaviour assessment; neurodiversity and autism; differentiation; learning difficulties: mathematics; learning difficulties: reading; and multi-tiered learning design within special and inclusive education contexts.
This specialisation does not qualify you for teacher registration in Queensland. You can qualify for teacher registration in Queensland with the Master of Learning and Teaching (Early Years), Master of Learning and Teaching (Primary) or Master of Learning and Teaching (Secondary).
