Credit

CSU Credit Policy

Bachelor of Teaching (Secondary) Graduate Entry

Upon admission students are awarded 64 points of entry level credit in recognition of prior completed relevant undergraduate bachelor degree. Students who do not meet the minimum BOSTES requirements will receive proportionally less credit - based on the number of additional subjects required to meet accreditation.

This credit is represented on academic transcripts as:

  • EDU42C Entry Level Discipline Credit - 64 subject points (indicating no additional study is required to support their teaching area)

If students require additional discipline subjects (maximum of two) to meet BOSTES accreditation requirements then the following credit package will apply:

  • EDU40C Entry Level Discipline Credit - 56 credit points (indicating 1 further discipline content subject is required to support teaching area)
  • EDU39C Entry Level Discipline Credit - 48 subject points(indicating 2 further discipline content subjects are required to support teaching area)

Students may be granted up to a maximum of eight  subjects credit from the set of sixteen core Bachelor of Teaching (Secondary) subjects based upon additional graduate entry studies.

In order for a student to gain credit for a professional experience, the applicant must demonstrate to the Director, Professional Experience Unit that the completed task was indeed equivalent to a professional experience, that is, the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) had provided the student with an opportunity to satisfy the requirements of a typical professional experience. Typically, that would require the pre-service teacher to demonstrate that she/he has developed the skills, knowledge and understanding of the role of a teacher through:

- systematic observation of colleague's teaching and professional dialogue about such observations;
- teaching in a classroom in a collaborative role with an experienced colleague;
- the development of structured teaching and learning materials that are systematically evaluated;
- the development of a professional portfolio;
- discussion of personal teacher development with a supervising colleague on a regular basis;
-engagement in professional dialogue with independent (university) personnel;
- formal assessment of teaching competence by a supervising teacher.

Any student who is conditionally employed within a secondary school setting and is successful in gaining Professional Experience Credit then this credit will only apply to EPT441 Professional Experience 1. It is a course requirement that students must complete practicum in two diverse settings, as such, the student must then complete EPT442 Professional Experience 2 professional experience  requirements at a different school settings.

Any student who completed professional experience as part of another incomplete degree may apply to have that practicum recognised as equivalent in the same manner that they would apply for credit for other subjects.

Graduation requirements

To graduate students must satisfactorily complete 192 points.
