Strategic Purpose Statement |
The BTI Bachelor of Education (Teaching) Primary degree programme prepares graduate teachers to effectively design and implement holistic, quality education for students from Year 0/1 to 8 in English-medium schools. This preparation is consistent with biblical worldview perspectives, the New Zealand Curriculum, and the Teaching Council of Aotearoa New Zealand's Code of Professional Responsibility and Standards for the Teaching Profession. The programme's foundational Conceptual Framework provides the basis for coherence across courses within the programme which seeks to nurture the hearts, minds and practice of pre-service educators conducive to developing wise educators who are gracious, secure and teachable and whose teaching is relational, responsive and transformative. Pre-service teachers develop professional knowledge and practice related to primary teaching using the New Zealand Curriculum, and are able to:
* demonstrate intellectual independence, critical thinking and analytic rigour * engage in self-directed learning * demonstrate knowledge and skills related to the ideas, principles, concepts, chief research methods and problem-solving techniques of a recognised major subject * demonstrate the skills needed to acquire, understand and assess information from a range of sources * demonstrate communication and collaborative skills. |
