Your learning will be supported by on campus tutorials, pre-recorded and in-person lectures, in school activities, forums, and online teaching. You will benefit from the expertise of local teachers and a range of workshops to develop your skills in communication, technology enhanced learning, working with parents, designing assessment and conducting school-based research.

During your study you will explore the concepts of teaching and learning to build your professional skills in the key learning areas for primary schools: English, mathematics, science and technology, creative arts, personal development, health and physical education, and human society and its environment (history and geography).
