BACHELOR OF EDUCATION (P-12)

BACHELOR OF EDUCATION (P-12) COURSE STRUCTURE AND GUIDELINES BE THE TEACHER YOU WANT TO BE Our goal is to put you in charge of your study program. The Bachelor of Education (P-12) has the advantage that you can decide the kind of teacher you want to be. You will graduate qualified to teach in both primary and secondary schools. However, where you choose to work is your decision. That is the distinction of our course and one of which we are very proud. One of the big decisions you will have to make is what your specialisations will be for teaching in a secondary school. When selecting your specialisations you should choose those that best match your passion/s and expertise. Usually, you will choose two areas to specialise in. Those who select the Physical Education (Primary) specialisation will only select one secondary specialisation. Another thing to consider is which specialisations will give you the best opportunities for employment in a secondary school. At the moment, demand is high for qualified teachers of Mathematics, Science and Technology Studies/VET. Teachers with specialisations in LOTE, English and Humanities are also readily employable in the secondary sector, especially with the primary experience and knowledge that you will develop in this course. Preservice teachers are strongly encouraged to monitor the website of the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (DEECD) to keep track of hard-to-staff specialisations and hard-to-staff schools. NAVIGATING THE COURSE and TRACKING YOUR PROGRESS In order to ensure that you graduate in a timely manner with flexible employment possibilities you must become expert course navigators. Understanding the consequences of your decisions is essential for having a trouble-free enrolment. This document is designed to assist you in understanding the structure of the Bachelor of Education (P-12), to guide you in assessing your progress towards course completion and to enable you to plan your enrolment in future semesters. level academic advisors (see page 3) will offer advice when requested. However, it is your responsibility to enrol correctly; manage your course progress; and ensure that you have satisfactorily completed the course requirements. Use the Course Checker on page 5 to help with this process. Please note that the information in this package reflects a typical study pattern. From time to time adjustments may need to be made so that we can respond to your needs and improve delivery of the course. Page 1 Last updated 28 November 2012

TERMINOLOGY Here are some terms and information that might come in handy as you are making your selections. The information includes language that is used by Victoria University (VU) and the Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT). Victoria University (VU) terminology VU Course Unit of Study Core education units Praxis Inquiry (PI) units Pedagogy Content Knowledge (PCK) units Project Partnerships units Specialisations Victoria University, often referred to as VU, is a self-accrediting organisation that provides tertiary education courses. The Bachelor of Education P-12 (BEd (P-12)) is a course. Once you have successfully completed the course you can apply to VU to graduate and to the Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT) to seek registration so that you can join the teaching profession. The University uses a credit point system to manage students progress. A full-time preservice teacher usually enrols in 48 credit points per semester and 96 credit points per year. In a 4 year course such as the BEd (P-12), a student must complete 4 x 96 = 384 credit points to meet the graduation requirements. Preservice teachers receiving CentreLink support need to be enrolled in a minimum of 3 units per semester to be considered full time. Often known as a subject or a unit, a unit of study is a discrete component of a course which must be completed successfully in order for a student to progress to the next stage of a course. Typically, at VU, students take 4 units per semester and 8 units per year, each worth 12 credit points. The only exception is in 2, 4 when you will only complete 3 units because one unit is worth 24 credit points. Core education units must be completed in order to successfully complete the BEd (P-12). Core units include Praxis Inquiry units and Pedagogy Content Knowledge units. From 2 in the first year of the course, there is one Praxis Inquiry unit in each semester. These units make specific connections with preservice teachers experiences in schools and other educational settings. Project Partnerships reports are connected to these units. To successfully complete this course, preservice teachers must complete 6 primary level PCK units (covering English, Maths, Science, Humanities, The Arts and Health/PE). Preservice teachers will usually complete 2 secondary level PCK units linked to Specialisation A and Specialisation B. Project Partnerships is the name given to the program and organisational unit in the College of Education that is responsible for placement of preservice teachers in schools and other educational settings. Over the course duration, preservice teachers in the BEd (P-12) will complete over 100 days of supervised teaching practice in a range of educational settings. The majority of days need to be completed in a school environment that follows the Victorian curriculum guidelines and where the supervisor is registered, or able to be registered, by the VIT. s are the units that you select based on your interests. A group of electives forms a specialisation but not all electives need to be connected to a specialisation. Specialisations are the areas (sometimes called methods or disciplines) that you will be eligible to teach in a secondary school setting. Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT) terminology Victorian Institute of Teaching and Victoria University Standards for Initial Teacher Education Specialist Area Guidelines One of Study Major Sub-Major Part The Victorian Institute of Teaching, often referred to as the VIT registers teachers in Victoria and establishes guidelines for qualifications needed to teach in each specialist area. When you are enrolling you need to make sure that you select units that fit within the VIT Specialist Area Guidelines. The details provided on the following pages have been designed to help you with this process. The VIT also accredits teacher education courses. VU is accredited by the VIT to run teacher education courses. If you want to check the VIT website for the list of accredited teacher education courses in Victoria go to: http://www.vit.vic.edu.au. The VIT provides a detailed explanation of the minimum qualification requirements that graduating teachers need if they are to QUALIFY to teach. Go to: http://www.vit.vic.edu.au/finditfast/teacher-education-programs/pages/standardsforinitialteachereducation.aspx for all you need to know about what you need to demonstrate to join the teaching profession. The Specialist Area Guidelines are a detailed statement of specific requirements for teaching in secondary schools and other specialist areas such as Physical Education in primary schools. The VIT guidelines for each area of specialisation are detailed under alphabetical headings below. Please note that they are MINIMUM requirements and that if you want to teach a discipline to VCE level then VU strongly advises that you complete additional units. The Specialist Area Guidelines are at: http://www.vit.vic.edu.au/sitecollectiondocuments/pdf/1672_specialist-area-guidelines-nov08.pdf. The Specialist Area Guidelines use the terms: One of Study, Major, Sub-Major, Part and Teaching Methodology. The definitions used by the VIT are also used by VU when providing course advice. You need to be familiar with these terms and how they define the minimum requirements you need to meet in particular teaching areas. One of Study is made up of 96 credit points (usually 8 units). A Major is a term used by the VIT to describe a group of 6 units in a particular field (eg. Humanities, Science, Art and Physical Education) that together form an area of specialisation. This is sometimes called a teaching method or a discipline area. Students should study no more than 2 of these units at level 1 and then usually complete 2 units at level 2 and 2 units at level 3. Most students in the BEd (P-12) complete one major in an area they want to teach. This is equal to 72 credit points. A Sub-Major is a term used by the VIT to describe a group of 4 units that together form an area of specialisation/method/discipline area. Students should study no more than 2 of these units at level 1. Most preservice teachers in the BEd (P-12) complete one Sub-Major. A Part is a term used by the VIT to describe 2 units in a particular specialisation. A part is usually connected to a submajor. Page 2 Last updated 28 November 2012

COURSE CHECKER Having a correct enrolment and managing course progress is your responsibility. Course staff will offer advice, but it is your responsibility to ensure that you have completed the course requirements. Throughout your enrolment in the course, you should use this checker to monitor your progress and whenever you seek advice about the course, you should prepare for the discussion by completing this checker. It is essential that you are aware of your FAIL grades (N and UM) and understand the reasons for failure. Undertaking remedial action, including reenrolling in failed units, at the earliest opportunity will avoid the deep disappointment which occurs when an application to graduate and thus qualify as a registered teacher is rejected. This document is designed to assist you in: understanding the structure of the Bachelor of Education (P-12) mapping your progress towards course completion planning your enrolment in future semesters. To successfully complete the course you need to complete 31 units, including: 20 core education units (see the list below); 11 units of elective specialisations (selected on the basis of the VIT Specialist Area Guidelines and the VU guidelines described in this document).
