Primary
The education and development that occurs in the Primary years is vital to every young child’s wellbeing. This focus area offers many diverse learning environments and perspectives.
You will gain the in-depth knowledge and understanding of contemporary education and will successfully engage with students from Prep to Year 7. Our undergraduate programs develop in you the expertise needed to apply the key areas of curriculum and assessment to your teaching and the ability to effectively engage with this group of learners.
When beginning your journey as a preservice educator, choosing your area of specialisation is a complex decision. If you are unsure about which specialisation is right for you, shared first year courses give you the flexibility to change your specialisation after your first year.
A Middle Years pathway also exists within the primary specialisation. Through this pathway, you will gain the specialised skills and strategies to engage students effectively during this complex transition period.
If you have a passion for the wellbeing and benefit that movement and physical education offer, a primary focus exists within the Sport, Health and Physical Education specialisation of the Bachelor of Education.
If you already have a degree in a field other than Education, you should consider our Graduate Diploma of Learning and Teaching, Primary specialisation.
If you are an international or off-shore Australian student, not intending to seek teacher registration with the Queensland College of Teachers, you should consider our Graduate Diploma of Teaching.
