Course description, features and facilities Literacy, numeracy and the use of ICT in teaching and learning are given particular emphasis in the Master of Teaching (Primary) course. Our students are taught to create engaging integrated programs for children across a range of learning areas including Science, History, Geography and the Arts.
A special feature of this course is the final semester, in which students can choose to deepen their knowledge, skills and confidence in a particular area of professional practice through an interventions stream. Many of the units include a school-based component as we believe that theory and practice need to be tightly interwoven.
The UWA Master of Teaching (Primary) is a two year post-graduate teacher preparation program that qualifies graduates to teach in primary schools.
