Would you like to develop the specialised skills, knowledge and values you need to teach children with special education needs, and for leadership, consultancy and resources roles in Special and Inclusive Education?
This program will equip you to tackle the real-world challenges that teachers face in the classroom every day – from working with students who have special education needs to preventing disruptive behaviour and teaching students with learning difficulties. You’ll gain a broad perspective on the issues, practices and philosophies in special and inclusive education.
You’ll benefit from the cultural and professional diversity of learning alongside local and international students and teachers from a broad range of backgrounds, including early childhood, primary, secondary, post-secondary, public and private schools, and mainstream, support and specialist school teachers.
