Bachelor of Teaching (Primary)
Why study the Bachelor of Teaching (Primary) at UNE?
This award qualifies graduates to apply for registration as primary teachers in Australian states and territories. The course covers the six key learning areas of English, Mathematics, Creative Arts, Health and Physical Education, Science and Technology and Society and Environment.
Clinical Placement or Practical Experience: All teaching students must complete three practicum units. These experiences are designed to support students in forming their own links between the academic knowledge they develop at the university and the practical knowledge they can observe, model and individually create within the classroom and school.
On-campus students should be aware that placements are not usually possible in the Armidale area. Generally off-campus students are permitted to undertake their practicum in approved schools of their choice.

Students who have not satisfied this requirement must do so prior to teacher registration. Prohibited Employment Declaration and Probity Checks: In response to the New South Wales Department of Education and Training's requirement to meet legal obligations in respect of the Commission for Children and Young People Act 1998, and the Child Protection (Prohibited Employment) Act 1998, the Faculty of Education, Health and Professional Studies has introduced new guidelines regarding students undertaking field experience. All students are required to declare whether they are a prohibited person by completing a Prohibited Employment Declaration with their Student Registration Form. The NSW Department of Education and Training has recently introduced probity (criminal record) checks for all student teachers participating in unsupervised situations with school students. This includes the internship component of this award. Candidates should be aware that they will be subject to probity checks on behalf of potential employers after completing the award and prior to receiving clearance to function as an independent classroom teacher. Probity checks will need to be carried out prior to students undertaking any school experience. |
