Schools
There are three Schools in the Faculty of Education:
- School of Educational Psychology and Pedagogy
- School of Education Policy and Implementation
- Te Kura Māori
The Schools administer courses that make up the qualifications offered by the Faculty and work with students undertaking undergraduate and postgraduate study in the disciplines and sub-disciplines of education, as well as early childhood, primary and secondary teacher education.
All the staff and administrative offices of the Schools are located on the Karori Campus, but for students based on Kelburn Campus there is a Faculty of Education Office in the Easterfield Building.
School Administration Offices deal with assignment collection, course outlines and student notes and also help students with enquiries about general course information. Most Faculty of Education students will take courses from each of the Schools as part of their qualifications.
Schools and Institutes
Working closely with the Jessie Hetherington Centre for Educational Research, the staff in the Schools are actively engaged in research activities that inform their teaching. The research being undertaken contributes to scholarship, both nationally and internationally, in a wide range of areas; for example, teacher education, teaching and learning, pedagogical content knowledge, Māori, Pasifika and indigenous education and educational psychology.
Staff are also engaged in a number of externally-funded research and evaluation projects and are able to draw upon the wider University resources and programmes to support research activity.
