Never in her wildest dreams did Megan Elder imagine that she would travel to New Delhi in India to undertake teaching rounds for her Deakin Secondary Teaching degree. She jumped at the opportunity to go to the Delhi Public School, one of the top private schools in India with about 5000 students enrolled. Megan commended the Deakin teaching course because it was so practically based. Students are required to prepare lesson plans for use in the classroom on teaching rounds and also plan a semester of work.

When Jarrod Maine stood in front of his first class as a qualified teacher he was surprised by his own confidence. He attributes his ease to the excellent course structure of Deakin’s Bachelor of Teaching (Primary and Secondary) and the emphasis on hands-on experience through teaching rounds. In just two years, Jarrod undertook six teaching rounds of three weeks each. He became increasingly comfortable dealing with students ranging from Prep to senior level, and confident about his application of the curriculum. He also gained valuable insight into the various methods used by his supervising teachers.

sheridan mcshaneI found the teachers at Deakin … ‘great because they focused on the practical application of learning. They had all worked in the field for years and added great pearls of wisdom in class which brought teaching to life for us.’ The Study Abroad Program … ‘was definitely the best thing I have ever done in terms of life experience. I spent my third year in London studying at a university whose course was mutually recognised by Deakin. I would highly recommend the program to others. You really grow as a person and I now have friends for life from all over’.
