School of Teacher Education Dubbo
Welcome
The School of Teacher Education at Dubbo Campus prepares primary and early childhood teachers for rewarding careers in schools throughout the world. As in all professional degrees at Charles Sturt University, the education programs at Dubbo Campus place a strong emphasis on the relationship between the theoretical and practical elements of the teaching profession. The School of Teacher Education has a productive relationship with schools, pre-schools and centres in the Dubbo region, with many local school teachers being utilised as part-time lecturers. A number of our subjects also involve working closely with school students on real educational projects, allowing our students to gain hands-on experience relevant to their future careers.
The four-year bachelor degree programs in primary and early childhood education prepare graduates to recognise classrooms as a body of students with diverse learning needs. This inclusive ethos is fostered by core subjects in both programs that position the learner in the centre of the teaching/learning experience. As a result, our students graduate as teachers with expert knowledge on how children learn. Through a wide variety of practicum placement options, students also graduate with the confidence to teach across all stages in which they have qualified.
The School of Teacher Education is committed to making a contribution to the social sustainability of our bioregion, the Murray-Darling Basin, by equipping our graduates with the skills to be able to make a significant contribution to schools of most need in our region.
