Key Notes for All Students
The course retraining structures described in the following sections provide pathways for students to comply with accreditation requirements, but to graduate with one of the awards detailed above students must complete a minimum of 8 subjects at Charles Sturt.
Due to the wide variety of possible paths through these studies, it is not possible to specify a single enrolment pattern for students. Students will be advised by the Course Director about the subjects that best suit their needs and interests. It will be the student's responsibility to select subjects based on this advice, subject availability, prerequisites, assumed knowledge, and/or enrolment restrictions.
In general, it is recommended that students complete Level 100 subjects (e.g. EED1XX) before completing Level 200 subjects (e.g. EED2XX), and Level 200 subjects before completing Level 300 (e.g. EED3XX) or Level 400 subjects (e.g. EED4XX).
___________________________
QUALIFIED TEACHERS RETRAINING COURSE STRUCTURES
The sections below outline three of the most common retraining course structures followed by students in this course: primary teaching accreditation, secondary teaching accreditation, and concurrent study requirements for Bachelor of Education (K-12), and Bachelor of Outdoor Education student cohorts engaged in studying for additional teaching area accreditation.
Accreditation note: the suggested study requirements (advised below) is provided to conform with the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) Subject Content Knowledge Requirements. Charles Sturt University is not the accrediting body for retraining teachers; this authority lies with the employing agency of the teacher. It is recommended that students seek advice from employers regarding specific requirements for all teaching or retraining qualifications and accreditation.
___________________________
PRIMARY TEACHING ACCREDITATION
Relevant to: Qualified secondary school teachers retraining for primary teaching.
The following sequence of primary teaching subjects is suggested to provide accreditation for primary teaching:
6 curriculum area subjects (one from each curriculum area) at graduate-entry degree level; and
One professional experience subject.
You may also be required to study education subjects of the type described below if you have not already studied these in a previous degree:
Consultation with the Course Director for final subject selection is recommended before final enrolment.
___________________________
SECONDARY TEACHING ACCREDITATION
Relevant to: Qualified primary teachers retraining for secondary teaching, and for qualified secondary teachers studying an additional teaching area. The advice also relates to students enrolled in the Bachelor of Teaching (K-12) seeking to add an additional teaching area to their study.
First (Major) Teaching Area
The subject recommendations below allow a student to meet the NESA requirements for a First (Major) teaching area. NESA requirements for a Major teaching area are:
The equivalent of three-quarters of a year (0.75 Equivalent Full Time Study Load EFTSL) of discipline study. In most programs, this equates to six subjects, with no more than two subjects at first year level and no fewer than two subjects at third year level. Curriculum studies in a new teaching area may also be required; and a professional experience placement may also be required.
Subject recommendations for a First (Major) teaching area include the following study structure:
2 Discipline subjects at Level 100
2 Discipline subjects at Level 200
2 Discipline subjects at Level 300
and
2 Curriculum Method subjects
and
1 Professional Experience subject
Subject selection should be made in consultation with the Course Director.
Second (Minor) Teaching Area
The subject recommendations below allow a student to meet the NESA requirements for a Second (Minor) teaching area.
The equivalent of a half a year (0.5 EFTSL) of discipline study. In most programs, this equates to four subjects; with no more than two subjects at first year level. Note that not all teaching areas can be undertaken as a minor.
Subject recommendations for a Second (Minor) teaching area include the following study structure:
2 Discipline subjects at Level 100
2 Discipline subjects at Level 200 and/or 300
and
2 Curriculum Method subjects
and
1 Professional Experience subject
Subject selection should be made in consultation with the Course Director.
Further details of the required content for discipline subjects for secondary teaching, as prescribed by NESA, are provided below.
Note: for some subject areas, additional study may be required to achieve the breadth of content required by NESA, and also to allow subject progression to meet prerequisite study for some higher level subjects.

PATHWAY TO THE BACHELOR OF TEACHING (PRIMARY) and MASTER OF TEACHING (PRIMARY)
Applicants for a graduate entry Primary Teacher Education degree require the following criteria to be met within their Bachelor Degree:
