Master of Teaching and Learning (MTchgLn)
Program available at Hamilton Campus
This program, available in English or Maori Medium, develops students' critical understanding of research-based pedagogical approaches, learning theory, inquiry skills, and content knowledge so that they are able to effectively teach diverse learners in New Zealand schools.
Students also gain valuable practical experience, working at least 40 weeks of the year in a variety of classroom settings, with the professional support of faculty lecturers and mentor teachers.
The program is underpinned by adult learning principles and there is an expectation that student teachers think critically and work independently.
