Teacher Education

Early Childhood teachers work in kindergartens, preschools, kōhanga reo and early childhood centres inspiring imaginations and developing crucial skills in our tamariki.

Primary teachers work with tamariki in Years 1 to 8 (ages 5 to 13) in primary, intermediate, middle, and area schools. This is a very rewarding career in which you'll introduce tamariki to the world of learning and start them on their road to reading, writing, and mathematics.

Secondary teachers work with young adults in Years 7 to 13 (ages 11-18) in intermediate, middle, area, and secondary schools. As a secondary teacher you teach one or more subjects you're passionate about and inspire your students to make a positive difference in the world. Find out about secondary teaching at UC.
