About this program
Avondale's Master of Education is built for working teachers, delivered entirely online except for a single annual Winter School (one week each July) on the Lake Macquarie campus. It has four specialisation options, Leadership and Administration, Special and Inclusive Education, Curriculum and Teaching, and Health and Wellbeing, or can be completed without a specialisation. Units are recognised as accredited Professional Development by all Australian state teacher accreditation authorities, contributing 50 hours each toward maintenance requirements.
