5 Welcome Welcome to Victoria University s Faculty of Education. The aim of our Faculty is to have a positive impact on education, nationally and internationally. Education is a social good. It is a means by which society shapes itself leading individuals to the knowledge, skills and values that enable them to lead a rich personal life and contribute to society. Not everyone studying education wants to become a teacher. A knowledge of education as a means of individual and social development is a valuable preparation for working with people and policy, either in the government or private sector. We offer undergraduate majors in Education and Education and Psychology. These programmes address important questions: How do we learn and develop at different stages of life? What are the personal and social variables that have an impact on this? How can motivation be managed? What is the social role of schools? How can they cater for minority groups? What are the life challenges facing youth? For those who wish to become teachers after graduating with an undergraduate degree, we offer one-year graduate diploma and Master s qualifications. The diplomas and Master s qualifications are both recognised for entry to the teaching profession and, because teachers never stop learning, they both provide a solid starting point for ongoing professional development. In addition to these initial teacher education programmes, we offer advanced postgraduate professional programmes by coursework for experienced teachers and for those who wish to become registered educational psychologists. Underpinning all our work is continued research into education in all its complexity: the nature of learning and of learners; the development of policy to govern education; the design and evaluation of teaching and learning practice; how individual learners of different cultural or linguistic background or of different abilities are, or can be, catered for; and the way in which education honours the Treaty of Waitangi. This research is part of international scholarship that is contributed to by scholars in many countries. Our postgraduate research students work with us to contribute to this research and we encourage them to publish internationally to link with these global networks. What our research and our teaching have in common is a fundamental process of objective enquiry. We strive to understand and to help our students develop the tools to do the same. We shall help you to explore what we know and how we know it and then guide you in adding to your own understanding. The details of all our qualifications are outlined in this handbook and our staff are always ready to answer any further queries you might have. We look forward to welcoming you into our community of effective evidencebased educational practice. David Crabbe Dean, Faculty of Education For those who have decided to be teachers from the beginning of their studies, we have undergraduate pathways that support this choice. For early childhood education, the Bachelor of Education (Teaching) Early Childhood provides a three-year specialist qualification. Faculty of Education

11 Education BACHELOR OF ARTS IN EDUCATION The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled, or so said the philosopher, Plutarch, over two thousand years ago. Some would argue that, for many students, the fires remain unlit. From a range of disciplinary perspectives, the study of Education explores not only how the desire for learning is kindled, but it also addresses the big questions such as: Does schooling promote equality or perpetuate social disadvantage? What sort of values should young people learn from adults? What is the purpose of education for the young? How can education make a difference for marginalised or disadvantaged groups? Major requirements EDUC 101, points from EDUC points from EDUC a further 20 points from EDUC The BA in Education is administered by the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. For more information, go to As our society s central way of passing on knowledge, education has the power to shape every aspect of our future. The study of Education will give you transferable knowledge and understanding to make judgements about education and to analyse educational problems. Staff teach courses linked to their own research expertise in areas as diverse as youth studies, educational psychology, sociology of education, human development and behaviour, education policy and theory, philosophy of education, early childhood, Māori education, Pacific education and much more. You could consider adding supporting courses in disciplines including Psychology, Sociology, Māori Studies, Pacific Studies, Development Studies or History for a well-rounded degree. There are many careers open to graduates with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Education in areas such as child advocacy, family support, migrant and refugee services, community strategic planning, policy analysis, corrections and rehabilitation services and youth work. Graduates will have a critical understanding of the relevant theories and perspectives on education and can progress to postgraduate study in Education.

The MA in Education is administered by the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. Emma Boddy MEd student The year before starting university, I worked overseas in an international boarding school. It was incredible to see the way different cultures learnt and interacted and was probably the founding basis for my later interest in education and human development. Emma chose education as a study path as she sees that it can play a supportive role in many aspects of people s lives. I believe that learning is a lifelong journey and it should be supported at all stages. The research I have been involved in at Victoria shows that a good school climate is imperative to effective learning, especially where children are not afraid of being bullied by their peers. The MEd programme offered me the opportunity to take some human development courses whilst also being able to continue researching in an area I was passionate about. Overview 120-point thesis (EDUC 591). The MA may be awarded with Merit or Distinction. Duration Part time: up to four years. Full time: one year. Enrolment Contact the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences by fhss-enquiries@vuw.ac.nz or phone Emma was a Faculty of Education Summer Scholar in 2014/15, focusing on adult recollections of childhood bullying. She saw this as a real opportunity to improve her research and writing skills while being involved with the evidence-based anti-bullying programme, KiVa. Emma would like to provide meaningful change in the education or social service sector for vulnerable children and youth. Faculty of Education
16 Dr Cherie Chu Senior lecturer As a Pacific researcher and lecturer, Dr Cherie Chu has explored how educational practices can enhance Pasifika learners experiences in tertiary education. She has found that the learning and teaching relationship is fundamentally significant for Pasifika learners in order to achieve success. As a trainer facilitator she has a particular research interest in mentoring and leadership in Pacific contexts and has delivered leadership training for Pasifika communities in New Zealand and the Pacific region. Cherie enjoys establishing networks with Pasifika students and Pasifika staff (general and academic) in tertiary education. Her experience in the tertiary sector has led to a deep understanding and appreciation of education. Anna Wilson MSSL student Anna, who has taught at several Wellington schools over the past 12 years, was considering her next career move. Consultation with colleagues led to Anna s interest in the Master of Secondary School Leadership. I decided upon studying the MSSL because it has a point of difference to other Master s programmes in education. The qualification is delivered by the Faculty of Education and Victoria Business School and offers an opportunity to develop knowledge of leadership in secondary schools and also examines the demands of running large organisations. Anna has learnt a great deal from shadowing principals and liked the practical element of the programme, which was well structured around the needs of busy teachers. It was great to step out of the busy life of day-to-day teaching and be in another school learning about leadership and how they operate. It helped me to reflect on current and future practices I would implement in my next role. On completion of her Master s, Anna will be looking for a leadership role to put her new experience into practice, as well as taking the time to increase her knowledge of te reo Māori. 14 Victoria University of Wellington
17 MASTER OF SECONDARY SCHOOL LEADERSHIP The Master of Secondary School Leadership (MSSL) programme focuses on the specific leadership needed in secondary schools. This qualification is suitable for teachers and middle or senior managers in secondary schools who aspire to be secondary school principals and who wish to gain a Master s-level qualification that includes mentoring, guidance, placement observation, investigations and project work. Features During the course, students spend three weekly placements at secondary schools, where they shadow, and are mentored by, an experienced principal. The programme is delivered by Victoria University s Faculty of Education and Victoria Business School, with input from experienced secondary principals. The courses combine theory and practice and are designed to fit with the reality of a secondary school leader s business. Students can choose to work towards a Master of Secondary School Leadership (180 points) or step off with a Postgraduate Certificate of Secondary School Leadership after gaining 60 points or a Postgraduate Diploma of Secondary School Leadership after gaining 120 points.

19 Ivy Abella PhD candidate Undertaking doctoral research is one path in achieving something significant. It is the best form of interpersonal and intrapersonal growth, for it involves a comprehensive, intensive and holistic approach to learning, progress and achievement. Research is an instrument of change and development, which I believe is the aim of my PhD journey. Ivy completed her Bachelor s degree in Education, magna cum laude, at the University of Santo Tomas in the Philippines. After graduation, she worked as a secondary teacher at the Philippine Science High School Main Campus for almost 11 years. A recipient of the New Zealand Aid Scholarship to study the Master of Education at Victoria, Ivy graduated with distinction in A part-time tutor and research assistant at Victoria, Ivy was awarded a Victoria Doctoral Scholarship. Her fields of interest include pedagogical innovation, Pacific education, appreciative inquiry and activity theory. Her passionate lecturers and mentors at Victoria, who uncovered the complex realities and issues surrounding Pasifika peoples in New Zealand, had a huge influence on her doctoral study.

22 BACHELOR OF ARTS IN EDUCATION AND PSYCHOLOGY The interdisciplinary Education and Psychology major (EDPS) is best suited to those students who are interested in combining the strengths of both subjects and for those who might want to continue with postgraduate study in Educational Psychology. In particular, a BA degree majoring in Education and Psychology will give students the foundational knowledge they need to work towards an exciting and rewarding career as an educational psychologist. Educational psychologists are concerned with improving the learning of children and young people who are experiencing social, emotional or learning difficulties that cause problems within a range of educational settings. They use their knowledge of education and learning, developmental, behavioural and cognitive psychology to help people in educational and community settings. Students planning to continue to the Postgraduate Diploma in Educational Psychology Practice are required to have at least 45 points at the 200/300 level in Psychology. Students who are considering postgraduate study in Psychology should complete a Psychology major. Note: Students cannot enrol in a double major in Education and Psychology (EDPS) and Psychology (PSYC) or in Education and Psychology (EDPS) and Education (EDUC). Major requirements EDUC 141; PSYC 121 or 122; STAT 193 EDUC 243 and 244; PSYC 232; 15 further points from PSYC points from EDUC ; PSYC further points from EDUC or PSYC Educational psychologists can work in schools, classrooms, early childhood education settings or community services and can be employed in both the public and private sectors. They work with individual clients or groups, advising teachers, parents, social workers and other professionals. Educational psychologists use their knowledge of education and psychology and their skills in psycho-educational assessment, evaluation, mediation, intervention, coordination and referral skills to improve outcomes for all those involved in educational settings, including students, teachers and families/whānau. For additional information about the work of educational psychologists in New Zealand, go to the Ministry of Education website.

23 Dr Larah van der Meer Lecturer School of Education researcher and lecturer, Dr Larah van der Meer, investigated the use of alternative methods of communication, such as sign language, pictures and ipads with specialised applications that produce speech output, for children with a range of developmental disabilities who have not developed spoken language. She found that children learnt to use each method for functional communication, such as requesting more toy play. Most children were better able to use the picture and ipad communication systems and, when given a choice, the majority also preferred to use the ipad. These findings suggest that selection of communication systems based upon the child s preference, coupled with appropriate instructional strategies, may lead to the enhancement of communicative functioning for children with developmental disabilities. Larah is now investigating the use of such ipad communication systems for adults with intellectual disability. She is also involved in research on early intervention for children with autism spectrum disorder, with a particular focus on social interaction and communication development. Katie Allan MEdPsych student Education was a setting that I could see that the knowledge of psychology would make a huge difference. I love working alongside people and helping to assist children in their development and education. Katie has always had a keen interest in working with youth and children, but not as a clinical psychologist. Children s social and emotional development is so important to how they function within a classroom, how they communicate and their ability to form positive relationships, all of which have a huge impact on their learning. For Katie, finding the right course and direction was a process. Victoria s integrative programme felt like the right fit. Katie is thoroughly enjoying the MEdPsych and can see how she can apply the skills she has acquired in a professional setting. Her research is in the field of bullying and her aim is to provide insight into how best to equip parents to support their children through challenging bullying situations. Katie intends to gain more applied classroom experience working in schools and with the youth sector before completing the final internship year of the programme, with the end goal of becoming a registered educational psychologist.

26 Matt Sheerin PGDipEPP student Matt completed a BA in Education and Psychology at Victoria. With a career in educational psychology in mind, he enrolled in a Postgraduate Diploma in Education and Professional Development, completed a Master of Educational Psychology in 2014 and is now completing the Postgraduate Diploma of Educational Psychology Practice. Throughout his tertiary studies, Matt worked as a primary and secondary school teacher aide, supporting young people and their teachers. These experiences stimulated a real desire to help young people reach their potential. My interest in educational psychology began not long after my first role as a teacher aide. This role allowed me to see some of the positive ways educational psychologists can support young people, not only in their learning, but in all areas of life. Matt saw the PGDipEPP as the gateway into a career as an educational psychologist. The programme allows him to work as an intern-psychologist in education and community-based settings, providing the supervision and support necessary to develop his competency as a psychologist. Matt plans to be working as a fully registered educational psychologist in 2016 supporting young people and their families to live positive lives. 24 Victoria University of Wellington Nicole Mincher PGDipEPP student Nicole took a year off after completing a Master of Educational Psychology to reflect on her degree and decide her next step. During this year, she cared for her grandparents and did administrative work for the Ministry of Education. Both roles affirmed her decision to proceed with the Educational Psychology pathway. Nicole is passionate about behaviour management strategies and ways in which whānau and schools can be supported to work with children to achieve positive outcomes. I love supporting whānau and teachers, but also learning from them. Everyone has knowledge to share and a role as an educational psychologist means a lifelong journey of learning something I am very excited about! The range of undergraduate courses and flexibility in programme planning has enabled Nicole to experience many perspectives and disciplines, including Cognitive, Social and Educational Psychology. I have never experienced staff and programmes so accommodating and flexible to the needs of their students it really is a demonstration of practise what they preach! Nicole feels this has provided a solid foundation for future studies and given her an appreciation of different disciplines and the perspectives they bring.
27 Undergraduate pathways to teacher education There will be no first-year intake into the conjoint BA/BTeach or the BSc/ BTeach in 2016 but there are other pathways to becoming a teacher, starting at undergraduate level. Completion of an undergraduate degree provides an excellent pathway into teaching in the early childhood, primary or secondary sectors. To equip yourself to be the best teacher you can be, think carefully about your choice of courses. Think of your tertiary education as a complete journey towards preparing yourself to teach. Whichever sector of the education system you are interested in working in, we recommend including courses from the following list as elective options in your undergraduate degree: Education, particularly child and youth development (eg. EDUC 101, EDUC 141) Te reo Māori (eg. MAOR 101, 102) Pacific Studies (eg. PASI 101, SAMO 111) Science in everyday life (eg, SCIE 101) Academic writing (eg. WRIT 101) Statistics (eg. STAT 193) as it is important in primary and secondary education to be able to analyse assessment data to inform your teaching. If you have particular strengths or interests that are relevant to education, it is good to include courses that develop these in your undergraduate degree for example, teaching subjects such as mathematics, history, sciences, technology, geography, music, art history, languages and areas impacting on learning and education such as policy, psychology, sociology, sign language, philosophy, cultural studies and anthropology. When deciding what to include, think ahead to what you would like your particular contribution to education and society to be in your early teaching career, and take the courses that best help prepare you for this. Majoring in Education or Education and Psychology is an ideal pathway for people wishing to teach in early childhood or primary school contexts; for those considering secondary teaching, a minor in Education will be beneficial.

29 Teaching early childhood Early childhood teachers are among the most influential members of the community. The teaching and care that they offer lay the foundation for success in education and in life. Teachers have the opportunity to deeply affect the children in their care. The programmes offered by the Faculty of Education give graduates the skills to take on this responsibility with confidence and to enjoy the excitement, creativity and fun of working with young children. The Faculty offers two pathways to train as an early childhood teacher: Bachelor of Education (Teaching) Early Childhood a three-year fulltime undergraduate qualification for students without a university degree Graduate Diploma of Teaching (Early Childhood Education) a one-year full-time graduate-level qualification for students who already have a university degree. For more information, see pages BACHELOR OF EDUCATION (TEACHING) EARLY CHILDHOOD The Bachelor of Education (Teaching) Early Childhood (BEd(Tchg)EC) is for students who wish to gain a degree-level qualification in early childhood teaching. The programme takes three full years to complete and is taught through blended delivery, which includes online activities, lectures and tutorials. The BEd(Tchg)EC timetable allows students some flexibility for part-time employment in early childhood centres. Successful completion enables graduates to be eligible for provisional teacher registration with the Education Council. As graduates are required to have a working knowledge of a range of early childhood education centres, students undertake 21 weeks of teaching experience during the three years of the degree. FACULTY OF EDUCATION education@vuw.ac.nz Faculty of Education
30 Goals This degree aims to develop professional teachers who are sensitive to human needs; who are flexible, adaptable and resourceful people able to become leaders; and who are able to work with young children and adults in the community. BEd(Tchg)EC graduates will: be responsible for enhancing and assessing children s learning and development have in-depth knowledge of the early childhood education (ECE) curriculum, Te Whāriki and teaching practices that support children s developing learning dispositions, skills and knowledge critically reflect on their practice and work effectively with colleagues in professional learning communities have knowledge of the context of ECE in Aotearoa New Zealand and of the diverse children and families with whom they will work have undergone preparation to teach in ECE services in New Zealand. Overview The BEd(Tchg)EC programme comprises 360 points and is divided into the following components: curriculum studies cultural studies education studies professional teaching studies and teaching experience. Teaching experience There are teaching experience (TE) placements in each year of the programme. For students employed in early childhood centres, there is an opportunity to complete one practicum in Year 2, in their own centre. Teaching experiences enable students to see how theory and practice interlink in the development of quality teachers. Rebecca Gray BEd(Tchg)EC student I am passionate about learning and being able to teach the young children of New Zealand. I believe that much development, growth and learning happens for young children in the beginning years of their life. They should have the opportunity to be in an environment that supports, enriches and enhances this. Victoria has opened up my mind to new ways of thinking and my ideas and thoughts are constantly changing. Rebecca originally leant towards gaining a degree in primary teaching but found herself drawn to early childhood teaching after attending a Victoria open day. Many aspects of the programme appealed to Rebecca, particularly learning about the history of ECE in New Zealand and the wider world and how this has influenced teaching practice today. She has also appreciated the opportunity to gain real-life experience in early childhood centres, which has enabled her to understand what it is really like working with children. This experience helped her to decide what type of early childhood environment she would like to teach in, and the age group she would like to work with. 28 Victoria University of Wellington
31 BACHELOR OF EDUCATION (HONOURS) The Bachelor of Education (Honours) (BEd(Hons)) qualification builds on undergraduate study from a BEd(Tchg)EC to enable students to engage in advanced, specialised study in ECE, as well as providing a pathway into postgraduate study and research. Overview The programme comprises 120 points: Holly Björk BEd(Tchg)EC student I d always had a love for children and a real passion for teaching but I think my main influence was my mum. She is a teacher and I would always take any chance to help her out in the classroom. After I finished school, I began teaching children s swimming lessons, which made me think about a future career in education. 90 points from the schedule for the BEd(Hons) or equivalent 30-point compulsory research project (EDUC 489). Duration Part time: up to two years. Full time: two trimesters. Through her volunteer work at early childhood centres and talking with professionals in the ECE field, Holly knew that this would be a rewarding career that would potentially take her anywhere in the country. Holly grew up in Canterbury but she s always had a love for Wellington. It s such an amazing city, with so much going on. I knew that Victoria was a great university and I think I always knew that this is where I would study. Holly is enjoying Wellington and the programme at Victoria, in particular the teaching placements which has led to two jobs relieving in those centres. This has been a great opportunity to further Holly s teaching experience, build connections in her chosen field and help financially with her study. Faculty of Education
