GRADUATE DIPLOMA IN EDUCATION 2012

GENERAL INFORMATION
Graduate Diploma in Education courses are available at all four public universities in Western Australia for applicants with an approved undergraduate degree or equivalent. These courses require one year of fulltime or equivalent part-time (or external*) study and, on completion, graduates are eligible to apply for registration to teach in government and non-government schools. You can apply for up to three courses, and have the options of listing all preferences for one university, or across several. Make sure that your first preference is your favoured option. The selection process commences once applications close. Each university ranks first preference applicants for each course, and a decision to offer is made on the basis of this ranking and the number of places available. Those applicants who will not receive an offer on their first preference are then considered in the same way for their second preference if vacancies in that particular course remain. The procedure is repeated for third preferences. Offers are made to applicants around mid-December. Applicants will receive only one offer, if any. Note: Selection for the Graduate Diploma in Education is highly competitive, and qualified applicants may not necessarily receive an offer. If, after offers have been made, you have any queries about why you have or have not been made a particular offer, contact the university concerned. If you receive an offer, there is a deadline by which you must act or the offer will lapse. To accept this offer, you will need to follow the instructions sent with the offer. For information relating to selection procedures, restrictions and the detailed content of courses at individual universities see pages 2 - 4. Contact the universities, not TISC, for further enquiries. TISC acts only as the clearing house for applications. * Available only through Murdoch University. English Competency For entry into the Graduate Diploma in Education if your qualifications were taught in a language other than English, you will need to sit the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) Academic version in Western Australia and must provide documentary evidence that you have met the English requirements with your TISC application. The universities require an overall score of 7.5 or above with no score below 7 in each of the four components (speaking, listening, writing and reading). The IELTS exams are conducted by The University of Western Australia (08) 6488 2904 and the Perth Institute of Business and Technology (08) 6279 1100. On completion of the Graduate Diploma in Education, most students seek employment with the Department of Education. As the major employer of teachers in Western Australia, the department requires all prospective teachers to demonstrate English language proficiency (written, oral and interpretation) determined by the Western Australian College of Teaching (WACOT). Students considering possible employment in Western Australia after graduation from this award should refer to the WACOT website: www.wacot.wa.edu.au. Note: For students applying for courses at Edith Cowan University please refer to the Special English Entry Requirements on page 3. Teacher Suitability Department of Education Policy Because of its responsibility for the education, safety and duty of care of children in schools, the teaching profession demands the highest professional standards and personal ethics from practitioners. The Department of Education and cooperating non-government schools have the right to determine fit and proper persons to enter and practise in schools. Education authorities have the legal right to exclude people from school premises. This power will be exercised in cases of serious or frequent criminal conviction and may also be exercised in cases where children are thought to be at risk for any reason. For these reasons, all applicants offered a place in teacher education courses must obtain a criminal record check through the Department of Educations Criminal Record Screening system. No other type of criminal record check will be accepted. National Police Certificates are not acceptable. You should be aware that a criminal record does not necessarily preclude you from future employment as a teacher. However, the Department of Educations has advised that convictions: 1. of a violent or sexual nature; or 2. where the victim was under 18 years of age or elderly; or 3. for dealing or trafficking in drugs; or 4. involving fraud; or 5. any offence which results in a jail sentence are likely to lead to refusal to undertake employment or practice teaching regardless of when the offence(s) was committed. Further details about obtaining the compulsory Department of Educations criminal record check will be sent to successful applicants with their offer letter. Universities require this special criminal record check to be done as soon as possible after enrolment. There is a cost involved in obtaining this check. You should be aware that if you apply for a criminal record check and do in fact have a conviction relating to any of the offences such as 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 above which subsequently precludes your employment as a teacher, then this information may be placed on a confidential database held by the Department and made available to other education authorities. Criminal history is not disclosed to universities by the Department, and is destroyed once suitability has been established. For further information about this requirement, on a confidential basis, you should contact the Screening Policy Officer at the Department of Education on (08) 9264 4391, or email screening@det.wa.edu.au. The application form is available at http://www.det.wa.edu.au/screening.

Application for Working with Children Check The Working with Children (Criminal Record Checking) Act 2004 aims to protect children from harm by introducing a high standard of compulsory national criminal record checking for people wishing to do paid, unpaid or volunteer work with children in Western Australia. In 2012, for the purposes of their practicum, education students who are going to be working with children within the ages of 0-17 will require a Working with Children Check. An application for a Working with Children Check is made through Australia Post agencies. For further information on the Working with Children Act, see website: www.checkwwc.wa.gov.au. Overseas Applicants The universities offer full fee-paying places to applicants who are not Australian or New Zealand citizens nor permanent residents of Australia. If you are an overseas student you should not use the form in this brochure. You need to contact the International Students Office at the University concerned for further information regarding application procedures. Method of Study If you intend studying part-time, you should note that course units may only be available during the day and that teaching practice requires full-time attendance. See page 4 for availability. Secondary Teaching Your undergraduate degree must be relevant to the field of teaching specialisation you choose (both major and minor). For further information, see Instructions for Completing the Application Form, Question 6. Change of Preferences Change of preferences must be made in writing by Monday 21 November 2011. Documentary Evidence All supporting documents must be submitted with the application form at the time of lodgement, otherwise a $33 separate document fee will apply. Documents must be originals or correctly certified photocopies. Original documents will be photocopied at TISC, certified, then returned to the applicant by mail. Please do not submit documentation in bound format. TISC accepts photocopies certified by TISC, QTAC, SATAC, UAC or VTAC; the official records department of the original issuing institution; the Admissions Office of any of the participating institutions, JP certification and a number of other authorising officers.

For the Secondary courses (ie CT03C, EJ03C, EM03C, MT03C, UW03C) you must indicate a valid major and may indicate a minor from those listed. Do not use the same major and minor code for the same course. As a guide, the major you choose for teaching should be the same as your undergraduate major. The minor you choose should constitute approximately one sixth of your degree studies. Applicants to the School Psychology course (UW06C) do not require a major, but should indicate a minor area of specialisation.
