Master of Teaching (Secondary)

Course Description

A Master of Teaching (Secondary) is a graduate degree program that prepares students for careers in teaching in secondary schools. The program typically covers a wide range of topics related to education, such as curriculum design and implementation, classroom management, educational psychology, and teaching methodologies.

During the program, students learn about various aspects of teaching, such as lesson planning, assessment, and teaching strategies that are specific to teaching in the secondary education system. They also gain hands-on experience through practical teaching placements, where they work with students and apply teaching strategies and techniques.

Graduates of a Master of Teaching (Secondary) program may pursue careers as high school teachers, subject specialists, or school administrators. They may work in public or private schools, vocational education and training (VET) institutions, or non-profit organizations. Some graduates may also choose to pursue further education, such as a PhD in education or a related field, to develop advanced research and teaching skills and pursue careers in academia or research.

In addition to teaching skills, graduates of a Master of Teaching (Secondary) program may also possess skills in management, such as managing a classroom, creating and implementing curriculum, and working with parents and other stakeholders in the education system. These skills can be valuable in pursuing leadership roles in education, such as principal or director of a school.
