Course overview

The Master of Applied Learning and Teaching qualifies students to work in secondary schools and other youth settings such as VCAL, Vocational Education & Training System (TAFE).

The course will personalise participants’ learning experiences by adopting a problem-based approach that is closely aligned with authentic school improvement initiatives, and linking theory and practice through strong work-integrated learning partnerships with Primary and Secondary schools across Melbourne, Geelong and Warrnambool forming what is called the Deakin Academies. Participants will be asked to engage critically with their developing expertise in teaching practice and be open to contemporary ideas and research challenging traditional transmissive approaches to teaching and responding to a need for greater cultural diversity and inclusivity in patterns of Australian educational participation.
