COURSE DESCRIPTION
Drawing on the pioneering research and insights from the University of Melbourne’s Graduate School of Education and leading education researcher John Hattie, the Evidence-Based Teaching (formerly known as Clinical Teaching) program is the only course of its kind in Australia.
This program will provide you with specialized skills in student assessment and observation to improve the quality of your teaching. You will also have a greater impact on the learning and development outcomes of your students.
Course aims
In this program you’ll generate, interpret and evaluate various forms of student data to plan appropriate interventions that support student growth, at individual, group, team and school levels. Using the latest educational research, you’ll also discover the key theories around how students learn to accurately identify and address student-learning needs.

In order to be eligible to take the Research Pathway option, students must attain an average of H2A or above (i.e. 75% or above) in the first four compulsory subjects.
Full-time students complete four compulsory 12.5 point subjects in the first two terms, part-time students complete four compulsory subjects in the first four terms. These four subjects comprise the first 50 points of the course.
The final 50 points of the course can be completed as either the Coursework or the Research Pathway option.
