About This Course
Furthering meaningful foundations to develop amazing young adults!
The Master of Teaching (Secondary) is a 2-year (96cps) graduate Initial Teacher Education professional award. This award prepares preservice teachers for teaching in Secondary (7-12) school settings in all sectors. The 2-year Secondary award produces quality graduates who are sought after by employers and well-respected as early career teachers in a range of school settings.
Hallmarks of the course include personal and professional formation in aspects of wellbeing, Christian faith, ethics, and professional practice experiences across the educational sector which are sequenced to increasing depth, length, and complexity. Professional Experience placements, totaling 91 days, begin in the first semester of the first year and exceed the minimum requirement of 60 days.
In relation to the Australian Curriculum, course content includes core education studies in relation to curriculum, pedagogy, classroom management and diverse needs.
LANTITE (Literacy and Numeracy Test for Initial Teacher Education)
All pre-service teachers must pass both parts of the ACER LANTITE to be eligible to graduate from the course. Tabor also has an excellent record of preservice teachers passing the LANTITE, due in part to its long-standing and proven literacy and numeracy testing and support program, and expectation of LANTITE testing early in the course.
