Teacher Education Refresh (TER) Programme
IRMTNZ, in conjunction with the Teaching Council of Aotearoa New Zealand and MENZA, has developed a TER programme for Music teachers which has been running since the beginning of 2017. This is for teachers who need to renew their provisional practising certificate.
The course has 4 modules, covering Curriculum Assessment, Planning and Teaching, Tomorrow’s Learning Communities (including Health and Safety), Professional Teacher Practices, and Cultural Competence. It is delivered largely online, in an independent learning style, and with flexible time frames negotiable to suit the needs and interests of the candidates. Every effort has been made to keep costs to a minimum and relevance to the individual candidate paramount.
