As far as course structure for BT/BA goes, take a look here:
http://my.acu.edu.au/student/course...on/bachelor_of_teachingbachelor_of_arts#_ftn2
I'm a humanities student so I'm not really sure of the technology requirements although I know it follows the same structure.
In plain english, for the Bachelor of Arts component of the degree, you complete 16 units in the first 3 years. 8 units in your major (eg history, economics, theology)(if you complete a major in theology then you MUST complete another major instead of doing minors), then 4 units in a minor (eg history, theology etc) then either 4 units in another minor or 4 elective units.
So that's the Arts component.
For the Bachelor of Teaching Component, you do 7 core Education Studies units and 1 elective Education Studies unit.
You do 2 core curriculum studies units and then 4 units of elective curriculum studies (2 units in each of the teaching areas that you have chosen and studied in the Arts component of your degree).
In the 2nd year of your degree, you do Professional Experience 1 which involves a Morning-A-Week visit to a school designated by the university for 9 weeks. You mainly observe and help in the classroom for this placement but you also teach a few half lessons and do a whole lesson or two.
At the end of the 2nd year, you complete 70hrs (2 weeks) of Community Outreach which is basically volunteering somewhere of your choosing. The University also helps with getting placements. You are visited once or twice by a University Supervisor and after it has finished you go into uni for a debriefing session. I volunteered at a local special school and found this aspect of the course very enriching.
In the 3rd year of your degree, you do Professional Experience 2 (4 weeks) which involves 5 initial days of observations and getting familiar with the school and your classes and then around 30 lessons as well as additional observations. Your University Supervisor comes out about twice and observes your lessons and gives you feedback.
In the 4th year, you complete your internship (10 weeks plus 5 days of observation). By the end of the internship, you are teaching near to a full teaching load, ready to go out and teach!
Does that make enough sense? lol If it doesn't, let me know and I'll give you an example
It is a very thorough course and it is designed to give you the knowledge, the skills and the support to be able to teach full-time when you graduate.
Can you tell I want you to do this course? lol :-D Seriously, if you want to do teaching then ACU is the place to be.
