Strategic Purpose Statement |
The Degree programme has been designed to meet the requirements for initial teacher registration. The early childhood programme prepares students who wish to qualify to teach in an early childhood setting. The 0-8 years programme prepares students who wish to qualify for teaching at both early childhood and early primary levels. The primary three year programme provides training for students to teach in the primary and intermediate sector, years 1-8 (children ranging in ages from 5 to 13 years). The primary two year programme is for students who have already completed a degree, or hold a completed G3 qualification for teaching in primary schools. The primary bilingual programme prepares students to be able to teach in classrooms using both English and Maori. This allows for a graduated increase in the use of Te Reo Maori as a medium of instruction and provides opportunity for students to pursue their study of Te Reo Maori me ona Tikanga Maori throughout the course of training. The primary to year 10 programme is a two year programme for students who have already completed a degree, or hold a completed G3 qualification for teaching in primary or secondary schools to year 10.
