About the course
The Teaching Council of Aotearoa New Zealand have introduced steps to strengthen mathematics and numeracy requirements for initial teacher education providers from 2025, specifying; “student teachers enrolling in English medium primary ITE programmes commencing from 2025 onwards will need to demonstrate competence in mathematics by getting a score designated as equivalent to NCEA Level 2 in a mathematics assessment specified by the Teaching Council”.
For student teachers enrolling in 2026 they will need to pass the prescribed assessment prior to the second year of study. For student teachers enrolling in 2027 onward, they will need to pass the prescribed assessment prior to entry to the programme.
Programme highlights
Are you passionate about working with children?
Study with MIT to learn the hands-on skills you need to work as a primary or intermediate school teacher (years 0-8).
You will also develop skills in implementing Māori and Pacific teaching methods.
This programme is suitable for anyone looking to teach in a diverse and multicultural country such as New Zealand. You will graduate with the cultural competency to apply theory and hands-on skills to primary/intermediate education using diverse Pacific world-views.
Along with 21 weeks of block practicum experiences, you will spend two days a week working in a real classroom setting from your second semester of study.
