Secondary Sciences, Technologies and Mathematics initiative
The Victorian State Government's Secondary Sciences, Technologies and Mathematics (SSTM) initiative helps you diversify your teaching skill set and expand your teaching methods in digital technologies, or design and technologies.
Delivered part time from 2024, the SSTM initiative offers a flexible delivery format that works around your schedule. Choose from one of two courses and earn a graduate certificate at no cost to you or your school.
Graduate Certificate of Secondary Digital Technologies
Develop your knowledge of the digital technologies curriculum and learn to create teaching resources and assessments that meet the needs of your students. By drawing on research-informed approaches to pedagogy and assessment, you'll be well-equipped to move into new areas of practice and become a leader in digital tech teaching at your school.
Graduate Certificate of Secondary Design and Technologies
Develop a deep understanding of systems thinking, the design process and the role of design and technology in society. Gain hands-on experience with a range of materials and technologies as you learn to create engaging and effective learning sequences for your students. Develop strong professional networks in your school and across the Victorian educational sector.
Explore education and teaching courses
Gain the practical skills to shape young minds through early childhood, primary and secondary school education.
Professional Learning Education Hub
The Professional Learning Education Hub offers unique professional learning opportunities for educators and teachers. Through online and face-to-face workshops, seminars, short courses and online communities, you'll gain access to Deakin’s teaching and learning experts, as well as internationally and nationally recognised education researchers.
Become an educational support officer
Make a positive impact on the lives of children with disabilities by working as an educational support officer (integration or teacher aide). Our Education Support Professional Certificate is designed for prospective or employed educational support officers, allied health and educational professionals, and parents or caregivers of children with disabilities.
At the end of this professional learning course, current Deakin University students who are undertaking an undergraduate teaching program can elect to do a formal assessment task to accrue one credit point towards an elective unit.
