The Graduate Diploma of Education (Secondary) is a part-time course aimed towards graduates who wish to teach in the secondary school environment. It should be noted that the course is not available to students resident overseas.
The course is recognised by all State Education Departments, Catholic Education Offices and Private School Boards. (For Queensland, this course is recognised as the first year of the two years of postgraduate education studies required for registration as a teacher.)
The
Graduate Diploma of Education (Secondary) is open to applicants with an
approved degree (or equivalent qualification) from a recognised tertiary
institution, in a discipline appropriate to the teaching subjects (methods)
offered by the Faculty of Education on the Gippsland campus.
Students are required to provide one personal and one professional reference as
part of the application process. Please contact the Faculty of Education if you
do not have the required pro formas. Applications will not be processed
without this information. Criteria for selection will include the following:
Application forms can be obtained from the Course Inquiries Centre on free call 1800 671 845 or by email at course.inquiries@celts.monash.edu.au
Students are required to complete the following subjects over two years of part-time study by distance education.
As well as completing the six
subjects, students must successfully complete a total of 45 days of supervised
school experience. This requirement forms an essential part of the teaching
method subjects. Placements must be completed in both year one and year two of
the course.
This is a conceptual outline only. It gives a general indication of how the
course will progress and is subject to change without notice. Students should
consult the course coordinator to assist in planning their program.
Teaching method subjects are offered in the following areas:
Students must undertake two single methods (eg English and SOSE; maths and SOSE; maths and science), or a double method (eg double visual arts; double science) where double methods are offered. Enrolment in methods requires a major or submajor in the discipline (eg a major in English or maths as appropriate). It is possible that all these methods may not be available in a given year. Please check with the faculty to confirm which methods are to be offered.
Assessment is by way of a combination of tasks which may include examinations, assignments and other set tasks.
Credit may be granted for equivalent study of a Graduate Diploma of Education (Secondary) at another tertiary institution. Applicants should apply for credit prior to enrolment in the course.
