Handbook summary from Autumn 2024

The Master of Teaching (Birth – 5 Years / Birth – 12 Years) is a postgraduate initial teaching qualification that provides students with the flexibility to teach in both early childhood education and care settings and primary schools (Kindergarten to Year 6). This degree focuses on the continuity of children’s learning from birth to 12 years across all curriculum areas, as they transition through educational settings. Students will learn how to foster children's creativity, curiosity, imagination, critical thinking and wellbeing and to engender a love of learning across all curriculum areas. The program focuses on innovative and evidence-based approaches to teaching and learning and development of strong pedagogical content knowledge. It prepares students for their teaching career by emphasising pedagogical approaches and culturally responsive teaching practices that enable diverse learners to access learning experiences, effective classroom management practices, and using assessment and feedback to guide and enhance student learning. Students will explore the significance of the diversity of children’s family and community contexts and gain the knowledge and skills to foster meaningful partnerships. Pedagogical leadership will be developed through 60 days of professional experience in early childhood education and care settings, and 30 days in primary schools.

Program Logic

The Program Logic is embedded throughout all Initial Teacher Education programs at Western Sydney University. It explains how each subject contributes to the journey to become a Graduate Teacher. The Program Logic includes three phases: Foundation, Development and Transition. In each of these phases, pre-service teachers develop essential knowledge and skills by learning about evidence-based pedagogies and practices, enabling their successful transition to teaching.

Foundation: Pre-service teachers will develop fundamental knowledge, skills, and attributes to support the beginning of their journey to become a teacher. 

Development: Pre-service teachers will strengthen their pedagogical content knowledge, understanding of classroom management, and evidence-based pedagogical practices.

Transition: Pre-service teachers will consolidate and apply the knowledge, skills, and attributes required for success as a Graduate Teacher, using evidence to inform and strengthen pedagogical practice. 

Early Exit

Students may exit this program on completion of 160 credit points with a 1784 Master of Teaching (Birth - 5 Years)
