The Master of Teaching and Learning is an exciting option for graduates seeking to become primary or secondary teachers and who wish to distinguish themselves with a postgraduate qualification.
This professional Master’s will equip you with enhanced research-based knowledge and inquiry skills, experiences of contemporary educational theory, and professional practice so you can become a teacher with the expertise essential to schools in the 21st century. It is also an ideal pathway for those who have a particular interest in and commitment to supporting learning for diverse learners in mainstream schools, including Māori and Pasifika children and youth, learners for whom English is a second language, and those who experience special learning needs.
The degree is endorsed in either Primary Education or Secondary Education, and both are internationally recognised professional qualifications. You will meet Matatū Aotearoa | Teaching Council of New Zealand teaching standards, and will be able to apply for registration and certification with the teaching council as a school teacher.
