About graduate entry studies
The Graduate Diploma of Learning and Teaching program is a postgraduate pre-service teacher education preparation program for teachers and other professions including learning communities in which knowledge of learning and how to lead learning is required in the workplace. Teaching oriented graduates will be qualified for registration with the Queensland College of Teachers.
Graduates of this program will be workplace ready and futures oriented. As such they will have the demonstrated workplace capability and a clear focus on designing pedagogical strategies to achieve learning. Graduates will also have skills in the use of the Dimensions of Learning instructional framework. The specific professional standards that graduates will demonstrate by direct, indirect and supplementary evidence are derived from the Queensland College of Teachers Professional Standards for Graduates.
There are three compulsory residential schools which are mandatory for this program. These residential schools will only be held on the Rockhampton Campus with the first being scheduled in Orientation Week.
Note: It is now a requirement of the Commission for Children and Young People that all university students and other volunteers in schools undergo a criminal history check. Therefore it will be necessary for all commencing students to apply for a ‘Suitability Blue Card’ through a nominated person at each campus. Students must be in possession of a
Suitability Blue Card prior to beginning any in-school work. The ‘Suitability Blue Card’ remains current for two years.
