Overview
The Bachelor of Education Secondary prepares you to become a secondary school teacher, eligible to teach in a range of secondary schools such as middle, secondary and senior colleges. At CDU, you can study a Bachelor of Education Secondary online or on campus, parttime or full-time. When you graduate, you'll be qualified to register as a teacher anywhere in Australia. The course focuses on the skills and knowledge that you will need to teach in high schools, as outlined by the Australian National Curriculum. It meets both the national and local need for teachers committed to improving educational outcomes for children in year 7 to year 12.
In this course you will learn about:
- the school curriculum
- contemporary approaches to issues in education, such as inclusivity
- child and adolescent development
- behaviour management and student wellbeing
- improving the teaching-learning relationship in the classroom
- teaching First Nation learners
- developing an informed, evidence-based approach to learning and teaching in secondary school settings.
As a secondary teacher, you will specialise in teaching certain subjects. As part of your degree, you will choose two specialisations: a major and a minor. You can choose from a range of options, including:
- Technologies
- Health and Physical Education
- Humanities
- Languages Other Than English - Chinese, Greek, Indonesian, Yolngu
- Mathematics
- Music
- Science
- Visual Arts
- English
The course is a mixture of discipline-specific curriculum and pedagogical studies, general education studies and professional experience. When you graduate, your levels of personal literacy and numeracy will be broadly equivalent to the top 30% of the Australian population. Students are encouraged to review the employer eligibility requirements as they can vary state to state.
Career opportunities
Graduating with a Bachelor of Education Secondary prepares you to teach in high schools. It also prepares you to work in associated educational areas, such as:
- curriculum development
- educational planning
- educational research
- policy development.
Practical experience
This course includes the completion of a minimum of 80 days professional experience in secondary schools.
Professional recognition
On graduating, you will be eligible to register as a teacher in all states and territories in Australia, providing you meet all other requirements. Registration is currently being approved.
