Designed as a specialisation for primary and secondary teachers, professional educators, educational administrators, tertiary educators and others involved in education, the Graduate Certificate of Education (Innovation and Change) provides advanced theoretical and practical knowledge with regard to best practices in identifying issues and opportunities in teaching and learning, designing methods of responding to such issues through practice, and the role of technology in supporting innovation in contemporary learning settings. The program aims to provide educators with a set of advanced technical skills and tools that can be applied across a range of settings, and to reinforce a mindset of critical reflection and practice that can be applied in future practice, as well as in response to current issues and opportunities.
