Annual and Weekly Schedule
There will be online course material for each of the courses. These materials will be unpacked during in-person workshops.
During the workshops, trainees will be introduced to particular teaching practices and tasks. They also provide an opportunity for these to be practised in a controlled and supportive environment, prior to being implemented in the classroom.
Assessments for the courses will be spaced throughout the year and are aligned with the different tasks that trainees will be doing in their schools.
Please note: offers for this programme will be conditional upon TTI receiving all the necessary approvals and accreditations for the programme from NZQA and the Teaching Council.
