This programme, to qualify you to teach at secondary school level in your specialist teaching subject, is offered in partnership with Teach First NZ. Teach First NZ is an independent not-for-profit organisation that aims to improve student achievement outcomes in areas of socio-economic disadvantage, by attracting and supporting top university graduates to teach in secondary schools serving lower-decile communities.

The Faculty of Education�s main contribution to the partnership is the design and delivery of the programme’s academic curriculum and mentor programme. Upon successful completion of the programme you will graduate with a University of Auckland qualification.

This is a school-based teacher education programme and places are strictly limited. Teach First NZ is recruiting for participants to teach in selected areas of study/subjects.

Applications are to be made to Teach First NZ.
