Waikato offers teaching qualifications that cover early childhood, primary and secondary education. The BTchg (Early Childhood) programme is a professional teaching qualification that prepares students for work in a variety of early childhood settings with children from birth to five or six years. The BTchg (Primary) programme is a professional degree designed for students wanting to pursue a teaching career in New Zealand primary, middle, composite and intermediate schools. A BTchg (Primary) conjoint degree is also offered. The BTchg (Secondary) conjoint degree is designed for people wanting to pursue a teaching career in New Zealand secondary schools. The conjoint degree programmes are interwoven so one supports and enhances the other and include a Bachelor of Teaching majoring in Professional Education and a subject degree with a major and supporting subject that support the New Zealand curriculum. Qualified early childhood and primary teachers can upgrade their Diploma of Teaching (DipT) to a BTchg. Professional qualifications are also offered for technology teachers who wish to upgrade their qualifications or for experienced tradespeople who want a career change from tradesperson to teacher.
The requirements for the BTchg are prescribed in the Faculty of Education Teacher Education Handbook. For details of the papers that make up BTchg programmes, see Arts and Language Education, Human Development, Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, Policy, Cultural and Social Studies in Education, Professional Studies in Education, and Sport and Leisure Studies. A Graduate Diploma in Teaching (GradDipT) is available for students who have completed a bachelors degree and who wish to gain a professional teaching qualification. Initial enquiries for the BTchg and GradDipT programmes should be made to the Student Recruitment and Advisory Centre, Faculty of Education. A Bachelor of Teaching with Honours is available for students or teachers who have completed the BTchg or equivalent. Initial enquiries should be made to the Graduate Studies Office, Faculty of Education.
