Bachelor of Education (Secondary)/Bachelor of Arts (Mathematics)
Australian Catholic University - Strathfield (Mount St Mary)
Overview
The Bachelor of Education (Secondary)/Bachelor of Arts (Mathematics) is a double degree that enables you to gain the skills and expertise to become a secondary school mathematics teacher. As a graduate, you will be a qualified mathematics teacher proficient in innovative curriculum, teaching and assessment practice. This course includes university-level mathematics, extending your knowledge to ensure you have a deep understanding of the content in the secondary school curriculum. You will develop a contemporary understanding of the variety of ways students learn mathematics and the diversity of teaching approaches needed to ensure all students understand mathematics.
The NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) requires students to pass the National Literacy and Numeracy Test prior to completing the final professional experience placement.
All students in initial teacher education courses must meet the LANTITE test standard prior to graduation. You need to demonstrate once that you have met the standard for each test component (literacy and numeracy) before you undertake your final teaching placement. Test results are transferrable and do not expire.
Transferring into an ITE course from another institution, does not reset your LANTITE sitting allowance. If you have not met the standard for either component after your first attempt, it is very important that you contact the Course Coordinator immediately to discuss your options.
