Master of Education in Evidence-Based Teaching

Drawing on the pioneering research and insights from the University of Faculty of Education and leading education researcher John Hattie, the Evidence-Based Teaching program prepares you to devise more effective teaching interventions to support individual growth of students, and enables you to become the best teacher you can be.

This program will provide you with specialised skills in student assessment and observation to improve the quality of your teaching. You will also have a greater impact on the learning and development outcomes of your students.

Who is this course for?

This course is designed for teachers who are committed to advancing their practice in early childhood, primary and secondary school settings.

International students are welcome to study this course. However, please note that this course is not available to international students who require a student visa to study in Australia as it does not meet the onshore study requirements and it is not registered with CRICOS.

Course aims

In this program you’ll generate, interpret and evaluate various forms of student data to plan appropriate interventions that support student growth, at individual, group, team and school levels. Using the latest educational research, you’ll discover the key theories around how students learn to accurately identify and address student-learning needs.

You will also develop expert skills in evaluating various forms of student data and individual student assessment, and be equipped to provide instruction that is targeted to individual student needs, and develop the skills to assess your own impact on students.
