Welcome to the Faculty of Education at QUT. Teacher Education has been occurring at the Kelvin Grove campus for almost a hundred years, under the auspices of many organisations, including Kelvin Grove Teachers College, Brisbane Kindergarten Teachers College, Brisbane College of Advanced Education and since 1990, QUT.
This is a wonderful heritage and we remain proud of our achievements in the present day. Our Faculty provides the largest pre-service teacher education program in Australia for both undergraduate and graduate-entry students and we remain strongly committed to excellence in this pathway into the professional community of educators. Our programs for beginning educators are innovative and forward looking and cover a wide range of specialist areas for education not only in schools, but also in early childhood settings, community and industry learning places. The Faculty also provides exciting postgraduate coursework options for those with an interest in learning not only in schools but also across all types of organisations. These include the flagship degree - the Master of Learning Innovation, the Master of Psychology (Educational and Developmental) and a wide range of Graduate Certificates in Education. Equally, we are committed to our scholarly life and take pride in our strong research profile and our cutting edge research training programs - the PhD, EdD and MEd (Research). Our blend of research excellence and large-scale teacher education is a distinguishing feature of this Faculty. Our Faculty community also is actively engaged with the professional community beyond the university - through service programs, professional development programs, collaborative research and fee-for-service consultancies. We understand that such professional engagement is absolutely essential if we are to achieve our goals for the future. Whether you are a new staff member or prospective student, a research partner or a professional colleague, you are welcome in the Faculty. I hope your visit is an interesting and productive one. Professor Wendy Patton Executive Dean, Faculty of Education |
