The majors offered by the Graduate Certificate in Education program are created expressly to upgrade the skills of practising teachers in areas of need, passion, and various stages of learning. The course strives to improve current teaching methods by integrating new pedagogies, content, and views. To promote high levels of engagement and real-world learning experiences, trained teachers will be provided with a multifaceted approach to upskilling. The curriculum aims to personalise learning and deal with current difficulties in education that the teaching workforce must deal with.
The Graduate Major in Instructional Leadership investigates leadership, educational transformation, and instructional theories, as well as how these ideas might be used practically in the challenging and evolving field of education. Students will investigate a variety of teaching techniques, their proper implementation, and the research that backs them up.
