Increasingly, our students require differentiated content and behavioural strategies. The best thing about studying at this level is learning about different approaches to teaching. The scholarship enables me to lead teachers really successfully and to guide them in adjusting learning environments to better meet the needs of all students."

- Rachel Jones, scholar and A/Assistant Principal Miller Public School

 

The scholarship is a fantastic opportunity to develop my skills and knowledge in all areas of inclusive practice and then share that knowledge with colleagues to improve outcomes for our students."

- Jacqueline Hall, scholar and R/Assistant Principal Moree Secondary College

 

I chose to study my masters in special education to gain more knowledge in teaching a range of students with disability. I explored how to work with students who have special education needs, how to prevent disruptive behaviour and teach students with learning difficulties. This degree has helped me become a better educator as now all strategies I use in the classroom are backed by research."

 

Through studying my Masters, I am developing the skills that will allow me to work within different roles in the school; whether it be as a classroom teacher or a learning support teacher."
