Monash has been ranked the sixth best university in the world at which to study Education in the 2013 QS World University Rankings by Subject. This ranking is based on academic peer reviews, employer reviews and citations per research paper from academic staff. As a student in the Faculty of Education, you will learn from leading academics and researchers and will have access to the latest teaching and learning technology and student support services

Secondary school teachers perform one of society's most responsible roles. They guide, mentor and educate adolescents at a crucial stage of their learning lives. Our program prepares you to teach in secondary schools, while also allowing you to build on the skills developed in your undergraduate degree.

You will be part of a dynamic faculty that marries research rigour with experience. You will benefit from learning alongside our experienced secondary education academics and leading researchers.

The Master of Teaching will build on strengths acquired in your undergraduate degree. You will study the foundations of education along with two specialist areas drawn from your previous tertiary studies. These specialisms will ultimately be what you are qualified to teach in secondary schools.

An wide range of specialist teaching areas are available for students to choose from including: accounting, biology, business management, chemistry, drama, economics, English, English as a second language (ESL), geography, health, history, information technology/computing, Jewish studies, languages other than English (LOTE), legal studies, mathematics, media studies, music, outdoor education, physical education, physics, science, social education and visual arts. For more information, please see our list of specialist teaching areas and prerequisites.

To be assessed for specialist teaching areas prior to applying we recommend visiting the VIT website where they will assess your eligibility for a fee.

Your studies will focus on adolescent learning, classroom teaching and practice, education and society, and curriculum planning, implementation and evaluation. Core units include education policy and practice, the theory and practice of learning and teaching, fostering student engagement, and the teacher as a professional.

As part of the course, you will complete two method units and two depth units. Depth units are completed in the last semester of study - you have three streams to choose from:

Advanced professional learning: Gives you the opportunity to select units in areas you're interested in to advance your professional knowledge. You can select from approved postgraduate level units including: literacy studies, educational technologies, music education, math and science education, TESOL, inclusive and special education, gifted education and more.

Professional inquiry: Provides you with the opportunity to work with a school to investigate an educational issue that is of mutual interest. Together with the school you will develop and implement a project that will benefit the school community.

Research: This option develops your understanding of research and allows you to undertake a research project that can then lead to doctoral (PhD) studies. The first unit expands your understanding and appreciation of educational research perspectives, methods and research ethics. The second unit involves a research project of a topic of your interest, drawing from knowledge gained from the first unit.

Entry Requirements

Applicants must have successfully completed a recognised bachelor degree or an equivalent qualification.

Students are also required to qualify for two single teaching specialist areas, or one double teaching specialist area. See the faculty website for more information.

Earn your Master of Arts degree in Exercise Science, Physical Education and Wellness (MA-EXPW) from an established, fully accredited niversity in the most flexible way possible - at home, in your office, or while traveling. Tennessee Tech University's MA-EXPW is designed to fit your lifestyle without disruption of professional or personal schedules.

All coursework must be completed the same semester in which the course is taken. However, since there are no classes to attend, students select the time and place each week to read materials and work on projects. Since the emphasis of the program is to improve teaching, many of the projects are designed in a way that enables students to work toward the completion of the projects while continuing daily teaching routines.

We understand the need for teachers to have opportunities to grow and improve as professionals. This degree program is specifically designed to advance teaching skills and improve the quality of physical education programs.

This does not mean that some courses will not have exams. But for the most part, students will be evaluated based on completing projects. Project-based learning is a means by which students are able to learn through authentic work. Projects are designed so that students actually practice and demonstrate what they are learning in their coursework as they move through their daily teaching responsibilities. Students will design developmentally appropriate curricula, expand instructional skills and create accurate and thorough methods for recording the development and achievements of the youngsters being taught.

Entry Requirements

Students applying for this program should have an undergraduate GPA of at least 2.5 on the 4.0 scale.
