BTI | Christian ECE, Primary & Secondary Teacher Education Qualifications with Excellent Job Outcomes for Graduates

Teacher Education at BTI

Finding the right teacher training college is just as important as the qualification that you choose to study.

At BTI we review stakeholder feedback constantly, and shape our programmes accordingly. Feedback helps us meet the needs of stakeholders, whether they are existing students, alumni, associate teachers, practicum centres, programme monitors, NZQA or TEC.

We know that teaching, whether that's at ECE, primary or secondary school level, is not just a set of skills. We believe that you will teach out of who you are - your person; that's what children remember! We're interested in your personal and spiritual development whilst you study to become a teacher, and whilst this focus is woven throughout the programme, the PIPI: Professional Inquiry and Personal Integration papers specifically target this development.

Professional Development

Postgraduate study options:

"When saying to people that I am a teacher, I am often asked “What do you teach?” My reply is always “I teach students”. I teach hearts and minds, I teach students to be independent and to question, I teach life skills and how to build and maintain relationships. If BTI taught only curriculum content and lesson planning, then maybe my response to this question would be different. I was taught to value myself as the learner at BTI, and so I now value the learner more than the content too. I believe that through a good relationship students will learn more than if I were just teaching content.” Rachael McKoy, Alumnus, Bachelor of Education (Teaching) Primary
