Year 3 optional courses and prerequisites
Year 3 students must choose and enrol in one of the following courses (TECP315, TECP316, TECP317, TECP318 or TECP319). These must be completed as part of the programme and are available to BTchLn Early Childhood students who have met pre-requisite requirements. The courses have been designed to enable students to integrate and consolidate the knowledge and understandings they have gained from their programme of study, and to extend their professional knowledge and skills.
Choosing your course is an important decision. Some students may select an optional course to demonstrate their distinctiveness or a ‘point of difference’. Others wish to pursue an interest area. All these optional courses explore contemporary educational issues and practices.
The links below will give you an indication of the content and learning outcomes of the option courses.
- TECP315 Language, Culture and Identity: Enhancing Educational Experiences and Outcomes for Diverse Learners
- TECP316 Te Ao Maori/ Matauranga Maori: Teaching and Learning from Maori Worldviews
- TECP317 Digital Technologies and e-Learning for Transformative Education
- TECP318 Research and Inquiry in Action
- TECP319 Sustainability and Social Justice
Pre-requisites
Students must have completed a minimum of 90 points from the Year 2 BTchLn (Early Childhood) Schedule including both Year 2 Professional Practice and Professional Inquiry courses. RP: Subject to approval of the Head of School.
** TECP316 has an additional pre-requisite of TECM101 and a compulsory Noho Marae.
Repeating a course
If you are a Year 2 or 3 student who is repeating a course, and you have already successfully completed some assessment components for that course, you are eligible to apply for an ‘Application for partial exemption from assessment in a course’.
If approved, you will be exempt from completing the assessment component(s) you have already passed. You would still need to enrol in and pay for the full course. Until a decision is made students must continue with the course as if all assessment components still need to be completed. If you need further advice contact a Student Advisor.
Enrolment advice and assistance
We strongly advise you to apply as early as possible as places in this programme are limited and in high demand.

If you are in Year 3 then you must add one 300-level option to your course enrolment. See below for the list of courses.
Year 3 optional courses
Year 3 students must choose and enrol in one of the following courses (TECP 315, TECP 316, TECP 317, TECP 318 or TECP 319). These must be completed as part of the programme and are available to BTchLn Primary students who have met pre-requisite requirements. The courses have been designed to enable students to integrate and consolidate the knowledge and understandings they have gained from their programme of study, and to extend their professional knowledge and skills.
The decision on which course to select is an important one. Some students may select an optional course based on a desire to demonstrate their distinctiveness or evidence a ‘point of difference’. Others may base their decision on a desire to pursue an interest area. Either way students can be assured that they are enrolling in a course which is linked to contemporary educational issues and practices.
The links below will give you an indication of the content and learning outcomes of the option courses. Some staffing is still being finalised, however it is intended that by early 2017 this information will be confirmed.
