Bachelor of Education (Primary, Pasifika) (Level 7)
Are you passionate about working with children?
Study with MIT to learn the hands-on skills you need to work as a primary or intermediate school teacher (years 0-8).
You will also develop skills in implementing M?ori and Pacific teaching methods.
This programme is suitable for anyone looking to teach in a diverse and multicultural country such as New Zealand. You will graduate with the cultural competency to apply theory and hands-on skills to primary/intermediate education using diverse Pacific world-views.
Along with 21 weeks of block practicum experiences, you will spend two days a week working in a real classroom setting from your second semester of study.
Successful completion of this programme will lead to recognised qualified teacher status, and graduates are able to apply for provisional practicing certification with the Teaching Council of Aotearoa New Zealand.
