Overview
Supporting children to reach their full potential is a truly rewarding endeavour. Primary school teachers play a critical role in inspiring a love of learning, as well as assisting children to develop foundation skills such as literacy and numeracy, and physical and social competencies.
With a focus on evidence-based learning and teaching that has a positive impact on student learning and wellbeing, the Teaching (Primary) program at Macquarie University will support you to become responsive and ready to learn.
And it will enable you to gain the knowledge, skills and qualifications required to teach in primary schools or work in associated fields, such as curriculum planning, educational research and policy development.
