Professional learning

The Victorian Government Early Childhood Tertiary Partnership courses offer employment-based options for students to complete study online, while working in the sector. Visit Deakin’s Early childhood teaching employment-based pathway for details about the program including scholarships, mentoring, and other financial incentives. There are a limited number of places for the early childhood education pathways.

The Teach Today employment-based program gives you practical classroom experience that will ensure you’re work-ready when you graduate. If you hold a bachelor degree, you can study Deakin’s Master of Applied Learning and Teaching (Secondary) while gaining paid experience working in a local Victorian Government secondary school. Take advantage of the Victorian Government-funded Teach Today program and earn while you learn.

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.

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.
