Kelvin Grove Campus.
Studies leading to the Graduate Diploma in Teaching (Secondary) may be undertaken in one of the following ways:
(a) as a one year full-time course for students who have completed a degree (or equivalent) referred to as Program 1;
(b) as concurrent studies with the third and fourth years of a degree at Griffith University, referred to as Program 2;
(c) as a one year full-time course for students who have completed a degree (or equivalent) specialising in music studies, referred to as Program 3;
(d) as a two year part-time evening course which prepares holders of an appropriate degree for science or science and mathematics teaching, referred to as Program 4.
To be eligible for Programs 1 and 4, in addition to the basic qualification, students should have adequate musical background.
To be eligible for Program 2, students must have satisfactorily completed the first two years of a Bachelor's degree, provided that their studies in the Griffith University program include sufficient units to satisfy the Graduate Diploma requirements relating to pre- and co-requisites for curriculum studies in the teaching subjects selected. Students are expected to have appropriate studies in two teaching subjects. Detailed information on the prerequisite requirements is available from the Student Secretariat at Griffith University.
Program 3 is designed for students intending to become either classroom music teachers (primary and secondary) or instrumental music teachers (primary and secondary). To be eligible for Program 3, students should have adequate background to undertake either classroom music teaching (primary and secondary) or instrumental music teaching (primary and secondary).
Programs 1, 2 and 3 are undertaken full-time on the Kelvin Grove campus over two semesters. However, Program 2 students, after spending their third year of studies at Kelvin Grove, resume their degree studies in a fourth year at Griffith University during which they continue with further concurrent Graduate Diploma studies.
The programs have common objectives and philosophies. All aim to prepare secondary teachers for the future as well as for today's perceived needs. The course is based on the belief that a teacher education program should be determined by the nature of the teacher's roles and also by the nature of the students who undertake the course. It seeks to relate theory and practice and to be interdisciplinary in approach.
The course is structured in two phases, each phase having its own emphasis.
Phase 1 concentrates on various aspects of classroom teaching, reflects the predominant concern of student teachers with classroom practice and prepares students for practice teaching, thus maximising the usefulness of that practical experience in schools.
Phase 2 reflects students' increased understanding and growing awareness of the complexity of teaching. There is an increasing concern with the roles of the teacher in a wider context within the school, the profession and the community.
