This course aims to develop reflective, professional
teachers who can work effectively in a variety of educational
settings including primary schools in both the public and
private sectors. Core subjects are drawn from four strands:
Education Foundation Studies, Studies in the Key Learning
Areas, Studies in Curriculum and Pedagogy and Elective Studies.
Elective choices are available from both within the Faculty
and from the schedules of subjects offered by other Faculties.
The course requires students to complete 12 credit points
of elective studies outside the Faculty of Education.
While it is possible to complete the course on a part-time
basis, students need to be aware that there could be timetable
difficulties. Students intending to attempt the degree part-time
should consult with the Director of Primary Education at enrolment.
The New South Wales Department of Education and Training requires graduates seeking employment with the Department to have completed any two units of English, or equivalent subjects, and any two units of mathematics as part of their HSC or university studies, to gain registration as a teacher.
The course involves practical teaching experiences in each year. The details relating to practical teaching experience are noted in the subject descriptions for EDUT111 - Curriculum and Pedagogy I, EDUT211 - Curriculum and Pedagogy II and EDUT302 - Curriculum and Pedagogy III. Practical teaching experiences usually occur in Illawarra, Shoalhaven, Southern Highlands and Southern Sydney schools. Opportunities to undertake a practical teaching experience in countries such as China , Fiji , Malaysia and Thailand may also be available.
Teacher education students must complete a "Prohibited Employment Declaration" before undertaking practical teaching experience as required by the Child Protection (Prohibited Employment) Act 1998.
Students should note that a revised program of study is being
implemented for the Bachelor of Teaching (Primary Education)
in 2004. Students who commenced the course before 2004 should
refer to the program of study that applied at the time of their
enrolment. Such information is available at the Faculty of Education
Web Page.

It is possible for students to participate in an innovative approach to teacher training, the KBC - Mentor Program.

Students requiring information concerning the KBC should consult the Director of Primary Education.
