If you're passionate about teaching and are keen to build a rewarding career in secondary school teaching, La Trobe's Master of Teaching Nexus (Secondary) is for you. Through a combination of practical and evidence-based learning, you'll gain the confidence and knowledge to help shape the lives of our next generation.
You'll develop up to two curriculum specialisations that you'll take straight into the classroom when you graduate. Choose from science, languages, arts, psychology, physical education and many more. Or delve deeper in your area of interest with a specialisation in drama, mathematics, physical education, business management, commerce and business, science and visual arts.
Learn the most up-to-date skills for the modern classroom. Understand the needs of diverse learners and gain the skills and experience to succeed in any classroom. You'll prepare for classroom teaching with extensive in-school experience and guidance from our highly experienced and dedicated teaching academics. You'll learn how to manage classrooms, design class plans, guide students, and create a safe and engaging learning space for your students.
We focus on practise-based learning and our students learn about creating relationships from day one. You'll be embedded in your community from your first semester and will be mentored by community leaders, allowing you to develop meaningful relationships with students, parents and the wider school community. You'll also be paired with a university-based mentor and a school-based mentor to ensure you have the support during your studies.
Learn from leading academics and researchers in the field of learning sciences and develop strong professional networks. Throughout your studies, you'll learn the latest evidence-based teaching techniques, explore innovative pedagogies and learning sciences, and understand how to connect with every student as an individual.
We are committed to social justice and diversity. With campuses across metropolitan, regional and rural Victoria and New South Wales, we collaborate with a range of communities on the things that matter most to them and us. This government-funded program is specifically designed to address teacher shortages in regional, rural, and hard-to-staff schools. With flexible, accessible training and support, you'll get the opportunity to make an immediate impact in the classroom.
Your study experience will be suited to your busy schedule. The course is designed to offer flexibility, allowing you to teach in schools while still studying full-time, so you can gain practical experience while advancing your education. You'll also benefit from 24/7 online access to course materials and the option of participating in workshops at your own pace.

Learn essential skills to effectively teach up to two specialist areas of your choice.
