Because secondary school teachers are usually employed to teach more than one school subject, it is a requirement that students undertake a minor study in a second curriculum area. The units are scheduled over two semesters in sequence. A total of ten weeks field experience is undertaken and consists of supervised teaching segments and teaching assignments. There is also additional experience in schools in connection with academic units.
Additional Course Expenses
Students may be expected to purchase a number of textbooks, readers and other essential study materials.
