    Master of Teaching and Learning (Secondary)

    This course has given me a wealth of teaching experience in many schools, both guided by an experienced educator and as an independent teacher. This has allowed me to develop my own ‘teacher identity’ – an integral aspect of being an educator. I have made some fantastic friendships that I know will last a lifetime.

    I chose the Master of Teaching and Learning because it leveraged my existing education, knowledge and skills and focused them for a meaningful career in education. The best part was applying what we’ve learnt to real-life teaching situations with access to the best teaching experts that North Queensland has to offer.

    I was considering a career change from being a scientist to a teacher and I was really attracted to JCU’s Master of Teaching and Learning program. The professional placements and internship mean I get to put my knowledge and skills into practice, which will greatly assist me in becoming a qualified educator.

    We find that JCU graduates have highly developed professional knowledge and an openness to continuous learning. The level of practical experience they gain in their degrees helps them to transition quickly to full time teaching. JCU graduates have a strong understanding of teaching in a regional or remote context.
