Programmes | Admission/Entry Requirements | Course Descriptions

The School of Education seeks to challenge students intellectually helping them to engage with different philosophical narratives and perspectives. A large range of both public and private schools in Auckland are available for placement opportunities throughout the programme, giving students a diverse experience of classrooms and approaches to teaching.

Our Expectations

Graduating students will be outstanding teachers qualified to work in both primary and intermediate, state and private schools, throughout New Zealand. They will know what to teach; know about learners and how they learn; understand how contextual factors influence teaching and learning; plan for a safe high-quality teaching and learning environment; use evidence to promote learning; develop positive relationships with learners and colleagues; and be committed to a Christian worldview approach to their teaching and learning.
